RAY GELATO and ENRIC PEIDRO QUINTET

Ray Gelato and Enric Peidro Quintet 

Tough Tenors revisited . 

A celebration of swing with tenor sax masters Ray Gelato (U.K. ) and Enric Peidro( Spain ) . 

Ray and Enric salute the classic  heroes of the tenor sax, paying tribute to such greats as Coleman Hawkins, Illinois Jacquet, Charlie Ventura and a whole bunch more of nearly forgotten swing to bop era Giants. 

Celebrating their acclaimed album ‘ With All Due Respect ‘ Gelato and Peidro have a lovely musical communication that demonstrate their differing styles and approaches to the tenor sax. 

Peidro smooth lines, clever phrasing and breathy Ben Webster type sound contrast so well with Gelato’s big, full sound and muscular ‘ Texas Tenor ‘ approach. 

Ray and Enric don’t believe in recreating the past, as their idea is to add a new, fresh take to a classic style of the tenor saxophone. Using tonal virtuosity as the core ingredient to their respective approaches.
