Award-winning jazz guitarist NIGEL PRICE, whose credits include Van Morrison and Alan Barnes, teams up with fellow guitarist NEIL BURNS. This dynamic duo performs bebop, timeless standards, and infectious Latin grooves.

He also spent three years with the James Taylor Quartet, contributing to five albums, and has performed with legendary producer and artist David Axelrod. Price has received numerous accolades, including a Parliamentary Jazz Award and a British Jazz Award for Best Guitarist. In recent years he has organised extensive UK tours and founded the charity Grassroots Jazz to support live jazz venues.
