'The Jazz Giants Remembered '

Award winning musicians Craig Milverton, Piano, Nigel Price, Guitar and Ashley John Long, Bass deliver their personal tribute to several influential Jazz figures.

His blend of flowing bebop lines and deep blues feeling has made him popular with jazz, blues and funk audiences across the World.

In addition to his live performances, Price has released several critically acclaimed albums as a bandleader, including 'Wes Reimagined', 'That's it. Right there.' and the latest 'Live '23'. He is known for his ability to seamlessly blend various jazz styles, including bebop, blues, funk and Latin, into his playing.
