Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Flute – Greg Abate; Bass – Harvie Swartz; Congas – Wilson Corniel; Drums Percussion – Ed Uribe; Piano – Mark Soskin.
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!). ~bio by Scott Yanow
