Jazz
Greg Abate - Flute, Sax (Alto), Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor)
James Williams - Piano
Kenny Washington - Drums
Rufus Reid - Bass
On a Sunday night in late July, Birdland on Manhattan's Upper West Side welcomed saxophonist Greg Abate into it's post-bop setting to showcase and record for the first time the wonderful intensity, which fills his writing and playing.
He came with a dream rhythm section to make this recording: pianist James Williams, pianist Rufus Reid and drummer Kenny Washington.
* Alan Bates - Producer
* Ken Franckling - Liner Notes
Journeyman saxophonist Greg Abate makes a decent hard bop recording on this 1992 session. His playing is solid and sometimes frenetic, but also derivative. The compositions are straightforward and long enough for Abate and cast to make effective solos, yet short enough not to become tiring. He has a first-rate rhythm section with pianist James Williams, bassist Rufus Reid, and drummer Kenny Washington.

Greg Abate
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Born: May 31, 1947 in Fall River, MA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Big Band, Bop
A superior bop player who finally emerged on records as a leader in the 1990s, Greg Abate had picked up experience playing with the Ray Charles Orchestra (starting in 1973 when he succeeded David "Fathead" Newman) and the Artie Shaw band when it was headed by clarinetist Dick Johnson during 1985-1987. Based in Rhode Island, Abate has played at many festivals and club dates, mostly on the East Coast and in Europe. Although he also plays tenor, flute, and soprano, alto is his main ax. Abate, who considers Charlie Parker, Paul Desmond, and Phil Woods to be among his most important influences, has recorded as a leader for Seaside, Candid, and Blue Chip Jazz (Bop Lives!).
