Band Manager Matthew Katz Has died
He was not on the list.
Katz commenced his career in music in the 1960s, as the manager of three San Francisco-based bands, Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and It's A Beautiful Day.
Katz is also the owner of San Francisco Sound Records, which has released original or licensed material by Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, It's a Beautiful Day and Tim Hardin, among others. The company released Unforgiven (1981), the last recordings of Tim Hardin.
Other groups that Katz worked with include Tripsichord Music Box and a group from Seattle originally named "West Coast Natural Gas," which Katz renamed "Indian, Puddin' & Pipe."
Katz opened two different music showcases named "San Francisco Sound". The Seattle location was in a building on Capitol Hill originally named The Encore Ballroom and operated between 1967 and 1969. It is now a Public Storage warehouse. The other location was in Tottenville, Staten Island in New York City.
Katz was a candidate for city council of Malibu, California in April 2010.
