Ray Gelato, Simon Spillett

Ray Gelato and Simon Spillett are both well-loved cornerstones of the UK jazz scene, Ray with his hugely popular Giants, Simon with his big band and quartet and tonightthey come together to celebrate a shared passion for the tenor saxophone. Expect an exciting night of music drawing in blues, ballads and bop, delivered with refreshingly
contrasting styles but always with the emphasis on swing. Admirers of the rich tradition of jazz tenor, their repertoire focuses upon the core elements of great songs and a hard swinging rhythm section. If you love the classic, melodic, swinging sax sounds of US masters such as Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins & Gene Ammons then you’ll love this!
