Barry Leef or Baz to his friends, has a long and storied career as one of Australia\'s most recognizable musical voices. Baz started his career in the late 60\'s with a couple of #1 hits on the New Zealand charts before moving to Australia and joining the progressive hard rock band, Bakery in 1972. His talents though, were never exported commercially to the world like his contemporaries. Baz was under an internationally binding contract during this time, so when Frank Zappa came calling, asking him join his band the opportunity had to be turned down. He continued his string of musical successes through the 80\'s with the highly regarded band, Supermarket. Leef\'s most recent release, entitled "Rythmized", is a solo effort with his favorite music from the 60\'s and the 70\'s. It is a fresh interpretation of music from that era, it\'s full of blues, soul and pop music and we get to listen to four of these tracks in this episode.
