Heavy Hitters live recording night 1 of 4 Frankie’s recap
L-R: Mike LeDonne, Eric Alexander, Jeremy Pelt, Vincent Herring, Alexander Claffy, Kenny Washington

I come to you fresh off the first of four shows by The Heavy Hitters from New York City – Mike LeDonne on piano, Eric Alexander on tenor saxophone, Vincent Herring on alto saxophone, Kenny Washington on drums, and Alexander Claffy on bass – at Frankie's.
