I'm not sure what it's called but I just got given an album by Ray Gelato. I like!
Quite relaxing/uplifting listening to him in the morning going to work. Can anyone recommend anything similar/better than Ray Gelato. |  | | |  |

The Jive Aces - Fabulously entertaining - Ray Gelato is a mate of theirs and guested on their latest album.
My daughter Ilona is a leading dancer with the London Swing Dance Society. They often hold events in London, and have been on TV recently too. |  | | |

If you're just getting into Big Band swing, I can recommend a novelty album by Paul Anka (the one who wrote My Way) from about ten years ago called Rock Swings. He got the likes of Dave Tanner to do some really good big band arrangements of pop and rock songs from the 80s and 90s. Well worth a listen. |  | | |

Which Ray Gelato album do you have ?
I have these.....
GIANTS OF JIVE
A TASTE OF GELATO
GELATO ESPRESSO
THE FULL FLAVOUR
THE MEN FROM UNCLE
GELATO DAL VIVO (Live in Italy)
RAY GELATO
SALUTES THE GREAT ENTERTAINERS
RAY GELATO & THE GOODFELLAS GANGSTERS OF SWING
GELATO ALL ITALIANA
RAY GELATO & KAI HOFFMAN HEY BOY !, HEY GIRL !
His 1st band were rather good too - THE CHEVALIER BROTHERS, their 'Live & Kickin' CD is good value. I agree regards PAUL ANKA's Rock Swings worth a listen, some tracks are a little bit too cheesy (Smells Like Teen Spirit), but some work (Wonderwall)
JOE JACKSON's 4th album, Jumpin' Jive from 1981 was the one that first hooked me on Swing Jazz. Modern takes on classics by the likes of LOUIS JORDAN & LOUIS PRIMA. | | | |

Swing jazz is something I tap into quite often and I'm especially keen on the more classic stuff from the 30's 40's and 50's. My choices would be material from Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Cab Calloway, Gene Krupa [one of the finest drummers of all time], Louis Prima and of course the great Louis Jordan. |  |
