Leo Green melodious style of saxophone couldn't have dreamed of a better backdrop than the cast he has assembled for this dramatic debut.
It must have been easy for the hardest working session saxophonist in the world to call in a few favours. Straight Up features a glittering cast of musicians that includes Jools Holland and Brian Kennedy, with a song line-up that features compositions from Paul Weller, Robbie Williams, Stevie Wonder, Jim Steinman, and Lennon and McCartney. Featured guest artists include the guitar playing of Alan Darby (Eric Clapton), the vocals of Hazel Fernandes (Brand New Heavies) and actor Leslie Philips.
Leo, son of the famous jazz musician, Benny Green, has played with Joni Mitchell, Sting, Little Richard, James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robbie Williams, All Saints and many others. He is Van Morrison's favourite saxophonist and is a regular member of Jools Holland's Big Band and now his very own big band The Leo Green Experience.
An astonishing passion for both the music and their instruments as Ted's exhilarating drumming leads them through the music.
