Nigel is an excellent jazz guitarist often found playing with rising stars, but here he has released an album by his own trio featuring the striking organ of Pete Whittaker and impressive sticks and brushes work of Matt Home. Joined by the tenor sax of Andy Ross on two cuts the group's been captured here in crystal clear clarity by the production team of The Easy Access Orchestra.

Brisk opener Booze Blooze, written by Nigel, gives each player the opportunity to show us their chops in turn and introduces their artistry and ability. The mellow title track, however, presents Nigel's inventive single string playing and the subsequent take on Wes Montgomery's Blues Riff also allows Pete room to blend a little Jack McDuff-style chord material into the mix.

  Name the guitarist who sails with fluency and confidence through this opening track. I'll give you one of my cryptic crossword clues but without high expectations that it will help. The clue is "Mr Forsyth says it's right". Make what you can of that while you listen to "Booze Blooze".

  Well, stretch across and give yourself a modest pat on the back if you guessed that is "Mr Forsyth says it's right" is the price. Of course I need more than that so I'll tell you that the guitarist there was Surrey born Nigel Price whose cv like so many young musicians today lists funk, fusion and acid jazz among the idioms he's mastered.

  I'm glad to see that of the groups he leads himself his preference is for the guitar, organ and drums line up which you've just heard. Glad because in that format alone he stands out as a really class performer. On organ there was Pete Whittaker, on drums Matt Home.

  Nigel Price's album "Fool's Gold is on Fret Records. I see he's appearing at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival next Friday, April 28 th and if you live within reach of The Duke's Head ,Dorking Road, Tadworth you can even pop in and hear him there on Thursdays.

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?

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!
