Live In Bremen 1977. Charming combination of Blues, Folk and Jazz: Two impressive concerts on a CD. There is hardly any other way to describe his work: Leon Redbone, born in Cyprus in 1949, was a Wanderer between worlds. In 1964 he emigrated to Toronto via London. His musical career began in 1971 on the stage of the Mariposa Folk Festival in Canada. Redbone's trademark was a impeccable suit, sunglasses, moustache and panama hat. He was a master at playing the music of the'20s. years with blues, ragtime and folk. He crowned the whole thing with his idiosyncratic singing style, a mixture of singing, singing, yodeling, whistling and humming. The two concerts on the CD "Strings And Jokes" took place in Bremen in 1977. But despite their close proximity, they show two completely different pages of the artist. While he was supporting Jonathan Dorn at the concert in the bell at the tuba his performance in the Post-Aula was a solo performance. Both sets live from Leon's unique performance and his warm and intimate voice. What the listeners might think of at first as a weird is developing more and more into a charming and artistically impressive A combination of blues, folk and jazz.
