"En attendant...m , is a set of all originals in a style that blends elements of fusion, flamenco, and the Middle-East.It makes for a kind of world beat jazz lite, guitarist Al Di Meola's World Sinfonia meets violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. "

Jim Little,
Hour magazine.

"The reason why fusion jazz gets such a bad rap is because musiciens get carried away with MIDI technology, and performances are often lighter than sponge cake. Fortunately, that is not the case for local act Katjar, whose disc serves as a reminder that one can be hip in jazz without playing bebop. Katjar' s album En attendant...m never becomes sel-indulgent. "

Mick Antoine,

"Katjar' s album Ciel de lune, a blend of traditional jazz and oriental flavours, superbly performed by good musicians."

"The music is mainly a blend of Middle Eastern and spanish rythms and melodies, But this isn't paint-by-numbers stuff. The music is emotional and seductive. and there' s a lot here to nourish both head and heart."
