Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sounds of Carl Sonny Leyland, a virtuoso pianist renowned for his mastery of the eight-to-the-bar boogie-woogie style. Beyond his wizardry in boogie-woogie, Leyland reveals his versatility as a jazz improviser unbounded by genre constraints. His musical journey explores the realms of Blues, Ragtime, Swing, and Country, echoing the brilliance of 1930s and 40s rhythmic maestros such as Albert Ammons and Freddy Slack.

Transported through time, Leyland's performances evoke the spirit of bygone eras, reminiscent of the vibrant scenes at the Reno Club in Kansas City circa 1935. Delving into the roots of American music, Leyland doesn't merely replicate past glories but seizes each moment on stage as an opportunity for creative expression.
