GREG ABATE RETURNS WITH COOL JAZZ

AND LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL BANDS

On Thursday, March 18 at 7:30 PM, the Holland Theatre will feature an evening of jazz as they proudly present internationally acclaimed alto sax player, Greg Abate. Mr. Abate will be accompanied by his Quartet and also perform with local area high school musicians from Bellefontaine, Ben Logan and Indian Lake.

Greg Abate is widely considered among jazz writers and aficionados to be one of the best post bebop jazz alto players performing today. He has played lead alto in the Ray Charles Orchestra and lead tenor in the revived Artie Shaw Orchestra. Greg has performed and conducted clinics and workshops all over the United States and in Canada and Europe. His recordings receive playtime on jazz stations throughout the country. The Holland Theatre is honored to have him take time from his busy tour schedule to perform in Bellefontaine and work with area students.

Tickets for this concert will be $10 and can be purchased at the door. Please call 937-599-3687 to reserve a seat or if you have any questions.
