He’s back! Ray Gelato, The Godfather of Swing and multi-talented singer, saxman, songwriter and bandleader returns to The Bear, having toured his very special brand of jazz and R&B music all over Europe since he last played for us back in March.
Ray and his band have enjoyed an illustrious and successful career, including a long-established residency at Ronnie Scott’s, where they perform a sell-out event every Christmas.
He has performed twice for the late Queen Elizabeth, opened for Robbie Williams at Royal Albert Hall, and played at Sir Paul McCartney’s wedding. In addition, the band have played most of the top jazz festivals, including Montreal International Jazz Festival, Jazz at Lincoln Centre and Umbria Jazz Festival. Ray has also played some of the most prestigious clubs in the world, including Birdland Jazz Club and Blue Note Milano.
“Awesome band”
