Greg Osby and Sound Theatre is the debut studio album by saxophonist Greg Osby recorded in 1987 and released on the JMT label.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The performances (mostly Osby originals) are complex, somewhat abrasive, and in the M-Base genre, swinging in their own funky fashion and following a different logic than bebop. Osby plays quite well, and the music grows in interest with each listen".[2]
