Mike LeDonne

''The Groover''
( Savant SCD 2100 )


Tracklisting:
Rock With You
Blues for McCoy
Little Mary
I'm Gonna Make You Love Me
Deep Blue
Sunday in New York
Bopsolete
The Groover
On the Street Where You Live

Personnel:
Mike LeDonne: Hammond B3 organ
Eric Alexander: tenor saxophone
Peter Bernstein: electric guitar
Joe Farnsworth: drums

Note:
No frills or new age gimmickry here, as Hammond B-3 ace Mike LeDonne and his laudable band-mates’ lay down a fertile groove quotient throughout this winning studio date. The quartet transmits a glistening aura via its upbeat gait and fluent sense of swing within the classic jazz organ-combo format. LeDonne is an energizer as he comps, and prods the band into climactic opuses with his silvery chord clusters and blazing right-hand lead phrasings.

Many thanks for sharing this!

This is straight ahead jazz organ combo groove. Great playing and good production, except that the organ bass is just a tad too low in the mix. I just listened to the whole record in a row and it's great!

Recommended.

Thanks again.
