The Three Leonards

We make playful/noir jazzy covers. FFO L. Cohen, N. Cave, T. Waits, J. Cash. Made By Humans, For Humans. No genAI used. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely a pastiche.

The great thing about social media is that people can randomly (re)discover you. So you always get a chance to make a first impression on someone new. If that someone is you: hello! Maybe you like music. Maybe you like this music? We made it.

Finally back from a whirlwind European tour! which was entirely just in France and actually just the one part and just the one of us (me) and wherein I wasn't there specifically to perform music BUT I actually DID play some music a few times and people DID love the music I played. aah, success.

in the "fish or cut bait" category, I have to decide whether to focus on making new music or focus on the wild wild world of promotion. The Grind. The Schmooze. Posting music-adjacent media. Making videos. Espousing knowledge. Looking dapper. Dancing?? Goodness me, what is a man to do?

The final song from our third album releases this weekend! (While I'm away on vacation!) I'm planning a very special in-person celebration, because why not. It's not often that all three of us are in the same place. We're very proud of how this album turned out. Much love to our supporters.

I'm not sure that this is the best place to ask this but: has there ever been a consensus on what counts as Jazz and what doesn't? Is there a litmus test of some kind? We aim for a vibe similar to the production on mid-1980's Leonard Cohen albums. I hope that's jazzy enough for most of you.

social media is challenging because other people take aspects of music far more or far less seriously than you do. Those aspects being: -collecting media (physical or digital) -consuming media -concerts -bragging about the above feels like engaging with these topics could get disastrous
