Ace guitarist Nigel Price makes a welcome return to the JCUK, accompanied on this visit by fellow guitarist, French-born, London-based Alban Claret, plus bass and drums.

Nigel Price has graced the British jazz scene for more than twenty-five years, probably the most dynamic and gifted guitarist on the British jazz scene today. He cites early influences as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass and John McLaughlin. He has since developed his own style; a blend of flowing, fiery bebop lines, deep-blues feeling and an ability to swing hard.

Alban Claret is a French jazz guitarist and composer who was born in Perpignan in 1987, and is now settled in full-time on the British jazz scene. He is known for his powerful delivery, confident improvisation and deep swing, a perfect complement to Nigel Price.

London Jazz News recently reviewed their 2023 album Entente Cordiale:

“Nigel Price leads another storming twin-guitar session in this collaboration with French-born Alban Claret. They take in some famous and not-so-famous tunes on this delightful outing of cross-channel cooperation. . . . Catch them where you can during the coming months”.

So, catch them at The Jazz Centre UK on January 27th...
