A NYC-native, pianist Ray Gallon has been a mainstay on the jazz scene for over thirty-five years. Rooted in bebop and blues, his expressive, swingin’ playing melds old and new into a fresh, original style.

Ray’s 2021 trio album, Make Your Move, features the stellar rhythm section of David Wong and Kenny Washington. Released on Cellar Live, CD order information, reviews, and other links, are available on Ray's Linktr.ee. The album is available on all streaming platforms.

Look out for Ray’s upcoming trio album (Nov 2023) with none other than Ron Carter and Lewis Nash on Cellar Live, recorded at Van Gelder Studios.
