The Nigel Price Organ Trio
Watch YouTube footage of The Organ Trio here and listen to The Organ Trio by visiting Nigel’s website here "He
stands out as a really class performer…With music as good as
that so readily available once you know where to find it this self-deprecating
country is not such a bad place to live in eh?" "…
a real killer" "I first
encountered Nigel when I played percussion in The James Taylor Quartet.
He blew me away then and he does now" "We
all know what an incredible guitarist Nigel Price is, but again
the new drums and bass seem to have just supercharged even him and
his performance last night was nothing short of amazing!"

Amazing
guitarist Nigel Price returns to Milestones with one of the most
exciting and popular bands in the UK today on a nationwide UK tour.
Hard-swinging, bluesy grooves featuring Nigel’s long flowing
lines are performed over originals and standards in the spirit of
Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith and 1960s Blue Note jazz. Petrol is
thrown on the fire by the great Ross Stanley (Hammond organ) and
Steve Brown (drums). Not to be missed!|

"OK, we're in a recession. Now you can all know what it's like to be jazz musicians". Saxophonist Gilad Atzmon to the audience at The Bath Festival, 25 May 2008, quoted in The Guardian (31 May 2008)
The refrain will be coming soon: that's the part I like the best and the abrupt way in which it flings itself forward, like a cliff against the sea. For the moment it's the jazz that's playing; there's no melody, only notes, a host of little jolts. They know no rest, an unchanging order gives birth to them and destroys them, without ever giving them time to recover, to exist for themselves. They run, they hurry, they strike me with a sharp blow in passing and are obliterated. I should quite like to hold them back, but I know that if I managed to stop one, nothing would remain between my fingers but a vulgar, doleful sound. I must accept their death; I must even will it; I know of few harsher or stronger impressions. From 'La Nausée', Jean-Paul Sartre (1938)
"The blues is real, it’s not perverted or thought about, it’s not a concept. It is a chair, not a design for a chair, or a better chair or a bigger chair or a chair with leather on ... it is the first chair. It is a chair for sitting on, not for looking at or being appreciated. You sit on that music". John Lennon interviewed by Jann S Wenner, ‘Rolling Stone’ (1970)
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones". John
Cage quoted in 'Conversing with Cage', Richard Kostelanetz (1988) |
