Louie Prez

July 23rd – Doug and Leo – Boite (Mark St)

Leo — Tue, 31 May 2011 05:51:14 +0000

Doug and Leo are playing a duo gig at the Boite in Nth Fitzroy 8pm Saturday July 23rd. We’d have Ray along but this gig has a strictly – acoustic no drums – policy so we thought we’d use it as an opportunity to present some of the new material for another album we are planning and also to play through some of the Brazilian repertoire. Leo will be playing soprano sax, alto flute and baritone sax and might even sing one from his songbook. Doug – guitar of course.

The theme is Global Gardens so there’ll be West African rhythm, Brazilian guitar and some Indian ragas mixed together with jazz groove.

Bryan Karahasan plays guitar on the final track of the album – the aptly named Domino Snake. As Ray and I do some of the gigs with Bryan I thought it a good idea to add a decent pic of the three of us
