This Saturday cafe coda is bringing you a unique experience. Hanah Jon Taylor will be interviewing and reminiscing with long time friend and fellow saxophone connoisseur Greg Abate over Zoom from Cafe CODA. Greg will also be blessing us with his solo saxophone playing throughout the event.
Greg will be joining us virtually and will be projected into the room for fans to get a personal experience with Greg even though he is in the east coast! You can enjoy the concert in person at Cafe CODA, or virtually from your location.
