Gus Leighton

Gus Leighton plays tenor saxophone and brings real heat to the stage, the kind that pulls a room's attention his way. His playing draws on jazz greats such as Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon and Lester Young, but the style he's built is contemporary and ranges across an eclectic mix of music. He performs around the country from his base in Hobart, and he's endorsed by Syos Mouthpieces and Bari Woodwind. For a jazz night, a cocktail function or a stage where the saxophone should be the main event, he's worth a look.
