The Swing Madness with Ray Gelato

About the concert

Ray Gelato is the "New King of Swing". His radiant and exuberant stage personality, alongside his energetic singing and sensual saxophone playing, takes us back to the dance clubs of the twenties and thirties in New York, with hits like ‘It Don't Mean a Thing’, ‘Sing Sing Sing’, ‘Ain't What you Do’ and others.

Since the beginning of his career Ray has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Blue Note and the Lincoln Center in New York and even at Sir Paul McCartney's wedding. He opened Robbie Williams' show at the Albert Hall, has appeared twice before the late Queen of England, as well as many times at the Jazz Festival in Umbria, the Montreal Festival, the North Sea and more.

Ray's shows are always, for every good reason, sold out. His musical groupings always radiate the joy of life with lively, dance-to entertainment. And even if you don't dance at this show, rest assured that you will leave in an uplifted mood.
