About us

Plymouth Jazz Club is proud to present the brilliantly talented, versatile and exciting American saxophone and flute star Greg Abate on his fourteen date tour of the UK.
In the mid 70's after finishing a four year program at Berklee College Of Music, Greg played lead alto for the Ray Charles Orchestra for 2 years, then In 1978 formed his own group and from there had the opportunity to play tenor sax with the revived Artie Shaw Orchestra from 1986 to '87.
Following this experience Greg ventured out as a soloist playing Jazz Festivals, Jazz Societies and Jazz Clubs throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad, including most of Europe, UK, and Moscow and Georgia Russia.
Greg recorded his first CD Live At Birdland NYC in 1991 on the Candid Jazz Label and has since made many records with his own groups, including with American legend Phil Woods, and has been nominated for a Grammy award.
Greg is also an adjunct professor of Jazz Studies at Rhode Island College and in
2016 was inducted into the RI MUSIC HALL OF FAME.
"Greg Abate is one of the most appealing saxophonists on the scene today…. he plays music with sweetness and daring." - Jim Merod, New Jazz Recordings, USA.
Greg has become highly popular in the UK and plays to sell-out crowds at most venues. He has become well-known at festivals for his duets in various groups with Alan Barnes, the top UK saxophonist. At the Swanage Jazz Festival he has received standing ovations from the audience.
With Greg is The Craig Milverton Trio, which has developed a fine understanding & rapport with him over several years and many gigs.
TheTrio is one of the best in the UK, backing great musicians such as Greg Abate, Scott Hamilton & Ken Peplowski from America plus the cream of UK jazzmen, not only locally but also touring the UK.
With the Craig Milverton Trio containing such great musicians as top jazz pianist Craig Milverton, leading London bassist Ashley John Long and Nick Milverton, possibly the finest drummer in the country for mainstream to modern groups, it is almost certainly the best trio in the West and one of the finest in the country, and an exciting evening of great jazz can be expected.
This will be an evening of entertaining, exciting, swinging mainstream to modern style Jazz Music!
