Greg Abate is considered by jazz writers and aficionados to be one of the most exciting saxophone players out there today. Mike Joyce of the Washington Post describes Abate as "...dedicated to uncluttered, uncompromised, unswerving jazz." Greg Abate is a working cat; on the road more than 150 days a year. He played with the Ray Charles orchestra and the revived Artie Shaw band. Now, Greg Abate performs mainly in small groups throughout the United States and Europe. He is Adjunct Instructor of Jazz at Rhode Island College, where he teaches jazz improvisation, jazz theory, and coaches jazz combos. He is a Conn-Selmer clinician conducting workshops internationally. Having attended Berklee College of Music, Greg Abate is listed among the school's prominent alumni. He has eleven albums as a leader to his credit - all critically acclaimed. Of Greg Abate's most recent recording, Evolution (with James Williams, piano; Harvie S, bass; and Billy Hart, drums) Leo Curran, road manager for the Stan Kenton orchestra in the 1950s, says, "Greg Abate's CD Evolution is great jazz, golden jazz... melodic, interesting and inventive."
