He has recorded with Paz\, Roadside Picnic\, Itchy Fingers\, NYJO\, the Michael Garrick Big Band\, Sax Appeal and Jamie Cullum.Nigel Price\, guitar: Over a career spanning more than 25 years\, Nigel has become widely acknowledged as one of the hardest working musicians in the business\, and very popular at BJazz. 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. 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. He 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. He has worked tirelessly to organise his own tours (including a 56 date tour in late 2016) and has picked up a Parliamentary Jazz Award (Best Jazz Ensemble\, 2010)\, a nomination for a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist\, 2014) and a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist\, 2016) along the way.  \n​Alec Dankworth\, bass: Alec Dankworth is an award-winning jazz bassist and composer who\, in addition to leading several groups of his own\, has worked with an amazing list of artists including Van Morrison\, Stephanne Grappelli\, Abdullah Ibrahim\, and The Dave Brubeck Quartet. He is known for his energetic stage presence\, versatility of style and some of the most imaginative bass solos around! \nTickets are available online upto 17:00 on the night\, then on the door from Doors Open 19:15.
