Class AB is widely considered a good compromise for audio amplifiers.
As one version of the legend has it, the boos were from the outraged folk fans whom Dylan had alienated by appearing, unexpectedly, with an electric guitar.
If it's also an abbreviation for the band, it could be Anti Balas (Antibalas). Afrobeat has become all the rage lately as a result of the musical "Fela!" about the legendary father of the style. Antibalas has played a large role in putting together the music for the musical.

Going by a list of musical styles on wiki, Afrobeat is the only logical answer for the style.

Fela! is on Broadway, produced by Jay-Z... Answer?
"In 2008, an off-Broadway production of Fela Kuti's life titled Fela!, began with a collaborative workshop between the Afrobeat band Antibalas and Tony award winner Bill T. Jones. The show was a massive success, selling out shows during its run, and garnering much critical acclaim. On November 22, 2009, Fela! began a run on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. Jim Lewis helped co-write the play (along with Bill T. Jones), and obtained producer backing from Jay-Z, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Stephen Hendel, and Stephen Semlitz. The show received rave reviews from the New York Times, saying that the musical "[Fela!] doesn't so much tell a story as soak an audience to and through the skin with the musical style and sensibility practiced by its leading man." [11]Sahr Ngaujah was cast as the magnetic lead role, and Antibalas continues to provide the music, taking on the role of the Nigera 70."

AAO was on the Farm in '03. I remember they were the opening act on the DVD from that year. Making their anticipated return...?
The clue does rhyme, so Jay-Z is a good guess. I'm really hoping Antibalas is there, though. They put on a great show and I haven't seen them i several years.

he did help bring AB to the stage...and has been largely rumored.

I'm thinking it's got to be Jay-Z. There may be a few other musical styles that you could abbreviate AB, but the fact that Jay-Z produced the musical seems too good to not be the answer.
