Nigel came to prominence as a member of The James Taylor Quartet and is now one of the leading UK jazz guitarists,  performing regularly at Ronnie Scott’s. His blend of flowing bebop lines, blues feeling and the will to swing has made him a big hit with modern jazz fans. 

 

“There’s an exhilarating tight-loose swing and old-school honestly about Price’s brand of soul-bop that leaves you panting” – Mojo

“Very few players could manage playing as fluent, imaginative and technically impeccable guitar as Price does here” – Evening Standard

“Price does skittering flautando harmonics disappearing up the fingerboard as well as any guitarist in the UK.” – LondonJazz

“Nigel Price is a blazing guitar player. He has serious chops and is able to demonstrate them wonderfully in the context of the standard repertoire.” Just Jazz Guitar
