Ray Keith Irwin (born 25 October 1961),[3] known professionally by his stage name Ray Gelato, is a British jazz, swing and jump blues saxophonist, singer and bandleader.[2] He is known as one of the major forces in the revival of swing music.[4] Gelato has performed in a private capacity for Richard Branson, Paul McCartney and Elizabeth II amongst others.[5]
AllMusic noted that "Gelato has been hugely successful, finding a niche and retaining his dominance in it through hard work, good musicianship and a flair for showmanship".[2] Jools Holland meanwhile opined that "He plays what he means, and means what he plays".[6]
