Leo Joseph's Solo Blues Piano Sessions

Free admission but all donations go to the Artemis Nature Fund to support conservation of the Golden-shouldered Parrot of Cape York Peninsula. The title of Leo's solo blues album, Highway 88, describes what you get at his solo piano shows: a journey up and down those 88 keys that hold so many hard-to-uncover secrets. You'll always hear a few nods to the doyen of New Orleans piano players, Dr John, by way of songs from his two 1980s solo piano albums (Dr John Plays Mac Rebennack and Brightest Smile in Town) and the various tunes he wrote or covered for them. You'll hear some blues-drenched takes on American Songbook standards and some of Leo’s original tunes that have been slowly accruing over the years.
