American Jazz Saxophonist Greg Abate joins us on Episode 6 of The Sax Show. We discuss his long career in jazz including colloborations with jazz greats such as Phil Woods, Gary Smulyan and the UK's Alan Barnes. We discuss life on the road, the challenges of playing with different players and much more. This is a great insight into the life of this well respected and multi-album recording artist.

Also on the show Alastair demonstrates the Yanagisawa AWO10 and AWO20 professional model Alto Saxophones. Alastair and Sam discuss the differences of bronze and brass saxophones and also more of the Yanagisawa range. As usual we have audio clips of the instruments so you can hear them back to back as well as getting our thoughts.
