\"Capture\"Gratitude and Grief ELIXIR Feat. Katie Noonan with Michael Leunig\u00a0<\/em>is a new album released today in which\u00a0Katie Noonan and Elixir explore every nuance of Michael Leunig’s poetry.<\/p>\n

Elixir, one of Australia’s finest jazz trios led by five-time ARIA award-winning singer songwriter Katie Noonan,\u00a0alongside National Jazz Award-winning Saxophonist\/Composer Zac Hurren and Australia\u2019s master of\u00a0guitar Stephen Magnusson are releasing this labum on the Kin label, distributed by Universal Music Australia.<\/p>\n

Over four years iconic Australian poet-cartoonist Michael Leunig and Elixir workshopped a\u00a0selection of poems to create this collaborative album. Interpreting 10 iconic poems by Leunig, Elixir combine the spoken word with vocals and jazz improvisation.\u00a0\u2018Love is Born\u2019, \u2018Peace (is my drug)\u2019, \u2018Gratitude and Grief\u2019 and \u2018The Path to Your Door\u2019 are amongst the\u00a0ten classic works Leunig himself will read as an introduction, before each musical interpretation of that, performed by the trio. The album ends with their unique take on \u2018The Rainbow Connection\u2019
\n– small gift of love to the LGBTQI community.<\/p>\n
