Mike LeDonne Big Band: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Mike LeDonne Big Band

Mike LeDonne Big Band is a New York–based jazz ensemble led by pianist and organist Mike LeDonne, heard regularly at Dizzy’s Club. LeDonne’s career includes work alongside figures such as Benny Goodman, Milt Jackson, and Benny Golson, experience that shows in the band’s disciplined section writing and flexible solo space. The repertoire sits close to hard bop, with arrangements that leave room for small-group swing inside a larger frame. The performances favor momentum and clarity over spectacle.
