Strange, first time I see a record where I know only the "sidemen", know them very very well , but not the leader........ must admit I never heard about him and I listen and read about jazz since I was a teenager......really strange.....

Time to read his autobiography. It'll give you all the information you need!

Both the CD and the book 

Now:

 

This trio, whether alone or backing horns, was excellent. Really tight and swinging all the way.

I remember really liking LeDonne's 'Bout Time with the same trio plus Tom Harrell and Gary Smulyan.  I've seen LeDonne three times, backing Benny Golson, George Coleman and Curtis Fuller, which says a lot about him.

Now finishing:

Freddie Redd - Redd's Blues: I am absolutely befuddled by the so-so reviews of this one.

And now:

Redd with Al McKibbon and Billy Higgins.
