• "…How much the Third Stream composers are insane? This is a question that would be asked in a wider historical perspective, but there are few answers we already get, while listening to the first and the excellent album of the Chameleon Trio- "In Between"…"

• "…In Between leans more towards the new music pole, but offers many adventurous and enjoyable improvised passages. Katz is a very talented storyteller who knows how to assemble drama, humor, sorrow, joy and optimism into thoughtful compositions. His work is well structured, but offers plenty of personal space to all three musicians…"

• "…What is most alarming about the group's debut, In Between, is the range of emotions that it explores. Katz's compositions are witty and ingratiating, and the players clearly have a sense of humor…In Between is a beautiful, deeply felt work. Unlike the animal that bears its name, the Chameleon Trio is destined to stand out from the crowd, both in Israel and abroad…"
