Alessio Menconi feat. Nigel Price
[Alessio] “Best Soloist” – Gran Prix du Jazz :: [Nigel] “Best guitarist” – British Jazz Awards
The internationally renowned Alessio Menconi is one of the preeminent jazz guitarists in his native Italy, a fluent and enormously impressive improviser and a highly respected educator. Nigel Price has played on more than 50 albums, spent ten years with acid jazz outfit the Filthy Six, was a member of James Taylor’s jazz/funk band and has played at Ronnie Scott’s over 600 times. Expect echoes of classic jazz guitar masters from this two-guitar frontline as well as some swinging originals. Accompanied by Mikele Montolli-bass & Joel Barford-drums, this evening is a must-see for jazz guitar aficionados.
“Price…fluent, imaginative and technically impeccable guitar” Evening Standard; “Menconi…luminous…possesses ferociously appropriate chops whether mellow-siding or tearing up the fretboard” Acoustic Music
