Nigel Price Organ Trio The Nigel Price Organ Trio, nominated for the 2021 Parliamentary Jazz Award for 'Best ensemble' (they won in 2010) and winners of the 2016 British Jazz Award for ‘Best Small Group’ will be playing selections from their vast back catalogue as well as the recently released and critically album ‘That’s it. Right there’. Over a career spanning more than 25 years, award winning jazz guitarist Nigel Price has become widely acknowledged as one of the hardest working musicians in the business. Musically, his blend of flowing bebop lines, deep blues sensibility and his mastery of chording continue to delight audiences and fellow musicians alike. His career highlights include a support show for GLADYS KNIGHT at The Royal Albert Hall and an appearance on VAN MORRISON's recent album Keep Me Singing. Starting his professional career in his early 20s, Nigel toured Europe with various reggae and funk bands before settling on a solo guitar career and turning his attention to jazz. Citing early influences as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nigel honed his craft by attending gigs and sitting in with the players of the time. Nigel has played on more than 50 albums including 5 as a leader, spent ten years with acid jazz outfit The Filthy Six, was a member of JAMES TAYLOR's band for 3 years (with whom he recorded 5 albums) and performed with the legendary David Axelrod. He has also taught at The International Guitar Foundation at King’s Place, London. Ross Stanley is the premier UK hammond player , Ross’s musical skills have kept him in high demand, seeing him play with jazz names such as Will Vinson, Dennis Rollins, Guy Barker, Michael Janisch, Joel Frahm, Liane Carroll, Stan Sulzman, Steve Arguelles, John Paracelli, Bobby Wellins, Clark Tracey and Maceo Parker.
Virtuoso Italian drummer Laura Klain has played with Trilok Gurtu, Michael Rosen, Alessio Menconi, Emanuele Cisi, Andrea Pozza, Shareef Clayton and many others. Together they form perhaps the most hard hitting, dynamic and exciting jazz groups on the scene today. Nigel Price - Guitar Ross Stanley - Hammond Organ Laura Klain - Drums
