After graduating from the prestigious Berklee School of Music, jazz saxophonist, flutist, and composer Greg Abate played lead alto saxophone in the Ray Charles Orchestra for two years in the early ‘70s. In 1978, he formed the group Channel One, and later played tenor sax in the revived Artie Shaw Orchestra, directed by Dick Johnson.
Following this experience Greg ventured out as post hard bop soloist playing Jazz Festivals, Jazz Societies and Jazz Clubs throughout the U.S. Canada and abroad, including most of Europe, UK, and Moscow and Georgia Russia, and has released more than 16 albums.
Greg’s newest release Gratitude, with the Tim Ray Trio has received glowing reviews and a lot of international airplay.
#ICYMI JazzWax mentions & reviews John Stein “Lifeline”
It’s rare when a two-album set is released celebrating the career of a living jazz artist. It’s even rarer that the double album should now be No. 4 on JazzWeek’s jazz album chart. That’s exactly what has happened with John Stein’s Lifeline (Whaling City Sound). Both accomplishments are a testament to John’s straight-up swing and eclecticism over the years and his passion for for tasty jazz chords and Brazilian rhythms.
