Leo’s Five

Band,
Jazz and R&B/Soul

Early 60s East St Louis jazz band. Originaly assembled to be the house band at Leo Gooden's Blue Note nightclub. The group, anchored by the Hammond B-3 playing of Don James, the dynamic drumming of Kenny Rice, and the tenor sax work of Charles "Little Man" Wright, pre-shadowed the organ-led jazz combos that appeared later in the decade.
