Internationally Renowned Jazz Musician, Greg Abate, to Perform at Historic Linden Place Mansion
Bristol, R.I. – Saxophonist, flutist, and composer, Greg Abate will perform at Linden Place on Friday, October 26, 2018 at 7:30pm. Abate has played with jazz group legends including the Ray Charles Orchestra and the Artie Shaw Orchestra as well as at countless jazz festivals and jazz clubs throughout the U.S, Canada, Europe, the U.K and even Moscow. In 2016, Abate was inducted in the RI Music Hall of Fame in 2016.
“Multi-saxophonist Greg Abate is a prime example of the ‘rear back and blow’ school of contemporary bop-based players. The tunes he writes or chooses are based on the kinds of changes that harmony-oriented jazzmen have favored since the beginning and he swings through them with and eager and easy virtuosity.”
–David Franklin, Jazz Times
Greg Abate and his trio will perform songs from the American Playbook, classic jazz, be-bop jazz as well as original compositions. Abate will be joined by bassist, Paul Del Nero, drummer, Gary Johnson and pianist, Kent Hewitt.
