  • Description

    Here Mike LeDonne appears with his acclaimed Groover Quartet (Eric Alexander, Peter Bernstein and Joe Farnsworth). This time with alto saxophonist Vincent Herring along for a swinging ride through an unhackneyed set of nine numbers, all of which receive the unmistakable LeDonne treatment.

    Like many jazz organists, Mike LeDonne started out on piano. Growing up around the family music store where his father Micki played jazz guitar, his path to music was inevitable. After graduating from The New England Conservatory, he moved to New York and became a fixture in jazz circles.

    Earlier in his career, he established himself as a sought-after pianist, playing with the Art Farmer-Clifford Jordan Quartet, Dizzy Gillespie, Stanley Turrentine and Sonny Rollins. His eleven-year association with Milt Jackson and recording projects with Benny Golson solidified his prominence as a sideman. Now, with eight Savant CDs as a leader under his belt, LeDonne has certainly earned himself a place in the elite club of truly great organist-bandleaders.

    Personnel: Mike LeDonne (organ), Eric Alexander (tenor saxophone), Vincent Herring (alto saxophone), Peter Bernstein (guitar), Joe Farnsworth (drums)
