It is a musical portrait by Michael Atlanta Transport 519 Leonhart, session player to the stars. It was written and recorded over the course of a five- Botanique/Canberra Gravel month stint (if a worldwide tour that long can be accurately labeled a stint) playing horns Hawaiian Sink Divers with Steely Dan (yes, Steely Dan). He passed his downtime on the road abusing various (Fly with Me) cameras & cell phone cameras, his portable sampler, laptop and whatever instruments that Snake in the Hole happened to be within reach. The result is a more experimental trip than his sadly under- On the Midnight Moog Train heard pop masterpiece The Ballad of Minton Quigley (2007, self-released). from Paris to Berlin The Madman from Kyoto Leonhart has recorded four solo records in as many years between Steely Dan and Lenny Memphis Trolley Rolls Through Kravitz touring, as well as sessioning with such diverse artists as Brian Eno, David Byrne, the Mountain Slash, Steven Tyler and Wynton Marsalis.
