Mike LeDonne – piano
Ron Carter – bass Carl
Allen – drums

Mike LeDonne leads a very special piano trio with legendary bassist Ron Carter and renowned drum master Carl Allen. LeDonne’s sterling reputation was first established in the 1980s with everyone from Benny Goodman and Benny Golson to Milt Jackson and Sonny Rollins. Jazz Journal (UK) writes, “LeDonne has killer chops, swings you to the ground, and tells the hell out of a story.” LeDonne is also well known for his work on organ in addition to being one of the great pianists. Downbeat says he delivers “red-hot piano lines that match the fiery intensity of his work on the Hammond B-3.” Joining his trio as a special guest is Ron Carter, who NPR simply says, “is one of the most prolific and influential bassists in jazz history,” which still somehow seems like an understatement. The trio is completed by the great Carl Allen, whom The New Yorker reports “has built a long and sturdy career providing uplifting rhythm for any number of illustrious jazz artists.”
