Interview 1: Mike LeDonne, "It's All Your Fault"

Mike Ledonne tells us about his new release, “It’s All Your Fault” on Savant records, featuring the Groover Quartet and a big band. It’s available on CD and all major streaming platforms. We talked to him about some of his earlier recordings, and how he came to concentrate on the Hammond organ and develop his own unique style on the instrument. He takes us track by track through the new album with insights into its title and inspiration, and finally gives us his thoughts on the importance and joy of swing. Enjoy the interview!
