‘Altered State Jazz’ presents … Lorne Lofsky & Nigel Price Quartet
Jazz guitar great Lorne Lofsky, whose career includes work with Oscar Peterson, Chet Baker and Joey DeFrancesco, joins forces with award-winning UK guitarist Nigel Price for a world-class quartet completed by Jeremy Brown and Joel Barford.
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 cool headed double bassist Jeremy Brown, who is definitely the first call for visiting international stars. This means his CV is absolutely stunning and rightly so.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the music of one of the greatest jazz guitar players of all time.
The group will be playing whatever Lorne decides on the day, which may well include material from their recent release - Lorne Lofsky/Nigel Price Quartet ‘Live at The Globe’.
