Mike LeDonne is on piano this time around not his more-familiar Hammond organ and he's working in a really fantastic trio with Christian McBride on bass and Lewis Nash on drums! Both players have made lots of wonderful records over the years, but there's something really special about this one as if LeDonne's bold approach to the piano seems to unlock even more energy in their rhythms maybe in part because Mike's always partially tuned to the needs of a bassist, which he sometimes handles with his feet on the pedals of the Hammond. Obviously, that's not the case this time around but he does often play in these bold, blocky ways that are perfect for Nash and McBride to augment on titles that include "Saud", "Lined With A Groove", "Recovery Blues", "Here's That Rainy Day", "NPS", and "Bopsolete".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/921006/Mike-LeDonne:Partners-In-Time
