Pianist/organist, Mike LeDonne started playing piano at the age of five and by ten he was gigging, and teaching piano at his father’s music store. Most great musicians show their talent and passion early, but only a lucky few have a childhood surrounded with the kind of reinforcement and joy that Mike experienced with a jazz musician father and a warm, supportive family. Mike’s mother even made hip band uniforms for Mike’s first group!

Mike LeDonne has the attitude of the early greats who influenced him and his playing reflects his deep respect for the history of jazz and his experiences working with everyone from Benny Goodman to Milt Jackson to Sonny Rollins and beyond.
