JAZZ at Caffe Lena : The Chuck Lamb Trio with Special Guest Greg Abate

Join us for another extraordinary evening of jazz as Caffè Lena’s monthly jazz series returns with resident host and pianist Chuck Lamb at the helm. A pillar of Caffè Lena’s jazz programming, Lamb brings fresh energy, deep musicality, and an open-hearted spirit to every performance.

This March, the Chuck Lamb Trio welcomes a very special guest: acclaimed saxophonist Greg Abate, a lifelong champion of straight-ahead jazz whose vibrant tone and masterful improvisation have captivated audiences around the world. A Berklee College of Music graduate and former member of both the Ray Charles Orchestra and the Artie Shaw band, Abate brings decades of experience — and an unmistakable musical voice — to every performance.

A prolific recording artist and Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame inductee, Abate is celebrated for keeping the spirit of bebop alive while infusing it with fresh energy. His appearance with the trio promises an evening of inspired interplay, bold creativity, and the thrilling spontaneity that only happens when great jazz musicians share the stage.

Chuck Lamb has been the pianist with the renowned Brubeck Brothers Quartet since 2002 and is known for his passionate, expressive style. In addition to his jazz credentials, he’s a prolific composer whose work spans jazz, fusion, classical, and world music. His performances are electrifying—moving seamlessly between lyricism and explosive improvisation.

With support from GRAMMY and Oscar-winning producer Joel Moss, the Jazz at Caffè Lena series continues to grow as a regional destination for lovers of innovative, boundary-pushing jazz.

Whether you’re a longtime jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the scene, this night of music will surprise, delight, and leave you wanting more. We’re thrilled to welcome Greg Abate as a special guest with Chuck Lamb for an evening of deep musical conversation, fearless improvisation, and world-class jazz artistry.
