Internationally acclaimed saxophonist Greg Abate—known for his fiery bebop lines, rich tone, and dynamic improvisation—returns to Connecticut with a powerhouse quartet featuring some of the region’s top jazz musicians. Abate, a veteran of the Ray Charles Orchestra and the Artie Shaw Orchestra, brings decades of artistry, energy, and storytelling to every performance.
This intimate show at The River Room offers audiences a rare chance to hear one of jazz’s true modern masters up close. Expect high-energy swing, lush ballads, and electrifying improvisations from a band that thrives on spontaneity and deep musical chemistry. Whether you're a lifelong jazz fan or discovering Greg Abate for the first time, this is a night you won't want to miss.
Come early for drinks, settle into our cozy 65-seat venue, and experience live jazz the way it was meant to be heard—up close, expressive, and full of heart.
