He was also part of Benny Goodman's Sextet in 1982–83.

LeDonne joined Milt Jackson's quartet around 1987; he also composed for and recorded with the band and eventually became musical director.

1988

His first recording as a leader was in 1988.

"As a sideman he played in the Art Farmer–Clifford Jordan Quintet and toured Paris with Grady Tate (both 1988), performed with Charles McPherson (1992), James Moody (1992), Sonny Rollins (1995), and Benny Golson (late 1990s to the present), and served as an accompanist to Ernestine Anderson, Annie Ross and Mary Stallings."

He continues to split his time between the organ and the piano, releasing several #1 'jazz chart' recordings as well as winning the Downbeat Rising Star Poll and being nominated for Best Keyboards by the Jazz Journalist Association in 2012.

As a sideman, he played organ with Lou Donaldson, George Coleman and David "Fathead" Newman.

2015

In 2015 LeDonne organized the inaugural disability pride march in New York City.

Grove wrote: "A level of understatement in LeDonne's style reflects the playing of Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan. Predominantly a bop pianist, he introduces a strong left hand into his work and reveals an understanding of swing piano playing".

Major influences also include Wynton Kelly, Cedar Walton and McCoy Tyner.

His Hammond Organ playing shows influences ranging from Jimmy Smith, Don Patterson and Charles Earland to Melvin Rhyne and Larry Young.
