艺人介绍

作为一个优秀的波普风格（Bop）*萨克斯手，格雷格·阿巴特是一个具有丰富巡回演出经验的老手，在其职业生涯很晚才开始录音。虽然他可以演奏几乎所有种类的萨克斯管，但他在演奏中音萨克斯时会有冲劲十足的起音，这使中音萨克斯成为他的招牌乐器。阿巴特也是位多产的作曲家，创作过许多迷人的旋律，有时近乎调性爵士（modal jazz）*的路子。1973年阿巴特加入雷·查尔斯乐队，代替原来“阿呆”戴维·纽曼（David“Fathead”Newman）的位置，并与乐队一起巡演了两年。1985年他加入了重组的由迪克·约翰逊担任指挥的阿蒂·肖乐队（Artie Shaw Band）,1987年他辞去了乐队的职务。从20世纪90年代早期开始，他与许多一流乐队的合作为Candid品牌录制了一系列扣人心弦的唱片。

by Scott YanowA 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!).
