My friend Ken Laster, whose In The Groove: Jazz and Beyond is the best jazz podcast available, tips me off that Greg Abate will be appearing at The Elks in Rapid City on May 16th and 17th. As fate would have it, I will be in New Orleans at that time. This is a personal tragedy. I would certainly have made the trip to see that show.
Abate (saxophone and flute) is a modern apostle of hard bop jazz. His CD Monsters in the Night presents a marvelous set of compositions, and some very fine playing. You can get the CD at the link above. If you are in the area and like good jazz, don't miss it.
