About this act
Gus Leighton plays contemporary tenor saxophone with Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz and Wayne Shorter in his ear. The stage presence is high-octane, which is not the first thing you associate with a jazz saxophonist, and it's a large part of why he's in demand around the country. His approach to an eclectic set of material has earned international recognition, including endorsements from Syos Mouthpieces and Bari Woodwind. Hobart based.
