On the 6th of December The Gus Leighton Quartet will be performing at Pablo’s Cocktails and Dreams to launch their new album “We’ll Meet Again.”
The album which was recorded live in the founders room earlier in 2025 is an album dedicated to Gus’s late Grandmother Freda and features songs written about her as well as pieces that remind Gus of her.
Gus and his quartet have been making a name for themselves on the Australian jazz scene with their performances of Gus’s
original compositions and arrangements of jazz standards.
“We’ll Meet Again” is the groups 4th album to be released with tracks off his previous album “From Day To Evie” receiving international recognition (with their performance or Prisoner Of Love being a featured song on allaboutjazz.com and with Gus’s original compositions being featured in the Australian Jazz Real Book)
Gus’ compositions are honest and emotionally charged, taking
influences from his musical heroes and built upon his experiences, his current life and hopes for the future. You can expect to hear ballads, hard swingers, cookin’ bebop and the occasional waltz in this local act comprised of some of Tasmania’s finest jazz musicians.
