Ray Gallon

A NYC-native, pianist Ray Gallon has been a mainstay on the jazz scene for over three decades, with a resume that includes  touring and recording with many legendary jazz masters. Rooted in bebop and blues, his expressive, swingin’ playing melds old and new into a fresh, original style.

Bill Charlap, in his liner notes for the CD, calls the album “a milestone”. This special release is available through Cellar Live via Bandcamp and is also available for streaming on all platforms.
