Renowned for bringing jazz around the globe as a world-traveling musician, saxophonist/flutist Greg Abate got his first major gig out of Berklee College of Music playing lead alto in the Ray Charles Band.

He also played tenor in the revived Artie Shaw Band and then ventured out as a soloist and composer in post-bop, Latin, and modern styles, performing at jazz festivals and clubs worldwide. Since 1991, he has released more than 16 albums.

Greg has been inducted into the RI MUSIC HALL OF FAME 2016.
