    City Rhythm with Ray Gelato

    City Rhythm With Ray Gelato Ray Gelato has been a successful performer in Europe for more than twenty five years. He is an acclaimed singer and saxophonist based in London. His approach to music is full of fun, yet he never stops displaying his serious jazz talent. He can fire up an audience with the vocal stylings of singers like Louis Prima and Dean Martin, then captivate them with a ballad played on his lush sounding tenor sax. Highly regarded by critics all over the world, Ray is recognized for his reverent approach to the standards and the distinct imprint he leaves on the classic jazz tradition. His list of admirers included the late sax legend Sam Butera, whose “Witnesses” were the backbone of Louis Prima’s performances for many years. Ray and Sam were featured together at Italy’s Umbria Jazz festival in 2003. When touring the USA, Ray teams up with the City Rhythm Orchestra. Known as “Philly’s premier swing outfit”, City Rhythm’s high voltage style is a natural fit for Ray, and the show is non-stop fireworks. Their tours in recent years have taken them to the finest venues in the USA, including Lincoln Center and the Blue Note in New York, the Foxwoods Casino in New England, top theaters in Philadelphia and Washington and Atlantic City’s finest casinos. Audiences are dazzled by the talent and spirit of this fine musical collaboration. The repertoire includes big band classics, jazz standards and Ray’s interpretation of the Louis Prima songbook, as well as that of popular male singers of that era.
