Description
Live recording from a killer quartet led by Canadian jazz guitarist Lorne Lofsky and Brit jazz guitarist Nigel Price, alongside bassist Jeremy Brown and drummer Joel Barford.
Nigel says: "The crowd were excitable and very much up for the gig, as they always are in this great little venue, and any wisp of fatigue soon disappeared! It was a special evening and we're all really pleased that this band were caught in full flight."
Lorne Lofsky's incredible playing and invention really shine through. He really is up there as one of the greatest jazz guitarists in the history of the instrument, and this record is absolute proof of that.
Lofsky is a living legend, having toured and recorded with Oscar Peterson, Joey DeFrancesco and Chet Baker! He's also perhaps more widely known in guitar circles as working and recording with the great Ed Bickert (guitarist with Paul Desmond).
Nigel Price is one of the most highly regarded and in demand guitarists on the UK jazz scene today. His band, the Nigel Price Organ Trio, have toured these islands over a dozen times, and are generally regarded as the most prolific UK touring jazz band of the 21st century. He spent three years with UK funk legends - the James Taylor Quartet, was voted No.1 in the 2016 British Jazz Awards for "best guitarist" and is also a regular performer at Ronnie Scott's, where he's played around 600 times.
