Chatting with tenor player & singer Ray Gelato about all things entertainment & jazz

Watford Jazz Junction by Chris Newstead

Episode notes

As you'd expect in the company of Ray Gelato, this is an extremely entertaining episode to conclude the current series.

We chat about rhythm & blues, finding your chops in the company of great recordings from the past, and understanding what it is to perform and entertain whilst still being yourself.

We talk about lots of the great tenor players from history, what it takes to be a Giant in Ray's band, and get a full account of what a truly great night out in Soho looks like!

Ray's album choices include:

  • Swing's the Thing by Illilnois Jacquet (1956) released on Clef

  • The Wildest Show at Tahoe by Louis Prima (1957) released on Capitol

  • Songs for Swingin' Lovers by Frank Sinatra (1956) released on Capitol
