4. LESLEY RAE DOWLING
(With WILLEM FOURIE on Sax), TUSK (3’33”)

Leslie-Rae Dowling, (Dowling Music), Desk Mix DM, Marquee, 1993, DAT.

If ever there was a jazz, folk, rock, opera label that was all but none of these, then it could apply to this Stellenbosch wine farming lady. Band or solo Lesley Rae’s performances would usually be a controversial occasion. Her chilling rendition of this anti-ivory song at Splashy, playing piano with Willem on the jungle sax, was a landmark set in 1993.
