Glasgow Jazz Club presents Lorne Lofsky/Nigel Price Quartet

Lorne Lofsky/Nigel Price Quartet

Lorne Lofsky - Guitar

Nigel Price - Guitar

Jeremy Brown - Double Bass

Joel Barford - Drums

Lorne Lofsky is literally a living legend, having toured and recorded with Oscar Peterson, Joey DeFrancesco and...wait for it...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.

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.

Joel Barford is the hottest drummer on the scene right now. Despite his young age, his boundless energy and startling prowess has already been thrilling audiences up and down the country and around the World.

Completing the quartet is double bassist Jeremy Brown, who is definitely the first call for visiting international stars, and this means his CV is absolutely stunning. Rightly so. He always has a cool head under pressure.

"It would be hard to think of two jazz guitarists with more contrasting approaches to their instruments than Nigel Price and Lorne Lofsky. Price revels in a bebop driven world laced with blues that has its roots in Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass and Kenny Burrell. Lofsky, on the other hand, plays fingerstyle which gives his playing a more pianistic quality. If one imagines what Bill Evans would sound like on guitar, he would probably sound something like Lorne Lofsky." UK Jazz News
