Greg Abate - Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde

Greg Abate's music is direct and understandable, beautiful and relaxed to which Greg's previous Candid albums provide excellent testimony. This third Candid date Greg pairs with another unashamed bebop master - Richie Cole. The two reed men have worked together on and off for several years. As Greg says, "We feed off each other very well - Richie was a great player. I like his energy and his sound." Greg plays here almost the entire saxophone family in a stimulating program ranging from the roaring "Fast Lane Rhythm" to his beautiful ballad "From the Heart". "I play this stuff with all my heart," says Greg.
