Greg Abate

“High-energy jazz doesn’t describe the full feeling of listening to hard bop saxophonist Greg Abate in live performance because so much intensity and idea-making fuels his music. But it comes close. Even his approach to ballads and sambas have that lilt. They start out breezy or laid-back, but they are certain to have their burning moments. Count on it.”

- Ken Franckling, Jazz Notes 

“I sleep a lot better knowing there are alto saxophone players like Greg Abate.”

- Phil Woods
