Tricotism • Fingerbustin'
It may not be cutting-edgeaa but this debut release from Tricotism – featuring established jazz hands Craig Milverton (piano) and Nigel Price (guitar) and comparative newbie Sandy Suchodolski (bass) – is full of melodic and improvisational sparkle, proving there's life in the old tradition yet. Milverton has long had a thing about Oscar Peterson – what self-respecting jazz pianist doesn't? – and this new trio is very much modelled on the Canadian's classic drummerless trio. Four of the tunes they perform are drawn from the Peterson compositional catalogue – ‘Sushi’, ‘Place St. Henri’, ‘Wheatland’ and ‘When Summer Comes’. The output of other mid-century keyboard modernists also features: Bud Powell's ‘Webb City’ and Thelonious Monk's ‘Eronel’ allows space for Price in particular to spread out; Billy Strayhorn's ‘Isfahan’ provides an opportunity for an extended display of delightfully evocative romanticism. The title track, an intricate fast blues that demands, as its title suggests, a good deal of its interpreters' digits, is the only original and brings the set to a rousing conclusion.

Puede que no sea vanguardistaaa, pero este primer disco de Tricotism, en el que participan los veteranos del jazz Craig Milverton (piano) y Nigel Price (guitarra) y el debutante Sandy Suchodolski (bajo), está lleno de chispa melódica y de improvisación, demostrando que todavía hay vida en la vieja tradición. A Milverton le gusta Oscar Peterson desde hace mucho tiempo -¿a qué pianista de jazz que se precie no le gusta? - y este nuevo trío sigue el modelo del clásico trío sin batería del canadiense. Cuatro de los temas que interpretan proceden del catálogo compositivo de Peterson: "Sushi", "Place St. Henri", "Wheatland" y "When Summer Comes". La producción de otros modernistas del teclado de mediados de siglo también está presente: Webb City', de Bud Powell, y 'Eronel', de Thelonious Monk, dejan espacio para que Price en particular se explaye; 'Isfahan', de Billy Strayhorn, brinda la oportunidad de un extenso despliegue de romanticismo deliciosamente evocador. El tema que da título al disco, un intrincado blues rápido que exige, como sugiere su título, una buena parte de los dígitos de sus intérpretes, es el único original y lleva el conjunto a una conclusión entusiasta.

Nigel Price Organ Trio • It's On!
Review from Jazz Journal (by Roger Farbey):
Recorded in just two days, It's On! captures the Nigel Price Organ Trio with a vibrant, impromptu character that feels like a live performance. The album’s nine tracks comprise six Price original compositions alongside three covers: Jule Styne's "Make Someone Happy" (nodding to Kenny Burrell’s version), Joe Zawinul's "Midnight Mood" (rendered in a brisk double time), and Art Pepper's "Red Car" (adapted into a 1960s boogaloo). Price’s vibrant compositions are pleasingly varied, blending swing, funk, and blues with masterful interplay between the leader’s nimble guitar, Ross Stanley’s Hammond organ, and Joel Barford’s dynamic drumming. Price himself considers this the trio’s best recording to date, and the result is indeed a high-energy, top-tier jazz session.

Reseña de Jazz Journal (por Roger Farbey):
Grabado en solo dos días, It's On! captura al Nigel Price Organ Trio con un carácter vibrante e improvisado que se siente como una actuación en vivo. Los nueve temas del álbum incluyen seis composiciones originales de Price junto a tres versiones: "Make Someone Happy" de Jule Styne (un guiño a la versión de Kenny Burrell), "Midnight Mood" de Joe Zawinul (interpretada en un ágil doble tiempo) y "Red Car" de Art Pepper (adaptada como un boogaloo de los años 60). Las vibrantes piezas de Price son gratamente variadas, mezclando swing, funk y blues con una interacción magistral entre la ágil guitarra del líder, el órgano Hammond de Ross Stanley y la batería dinámica de Joel Barford. El propio Price considera que esta es la mejor grabación del trío hasta la fecha, y el resultado es, de hecho, una sesión de jazz de primer nivel y gran energía.

Nigel Price • Entente Cordiale
Nigel Price needs no introduction as one of the leading guitarists in the UK, and hot on his heels is the young French guitarist, Alban Claret. Putting the two together to form a quartet was an inspired idea.
It may be unusual to find a quartet with a two-guitar front line, but with Entente Cordiale we are presented with just that, in an excellent album that takes us on a journey that features some of the great jazz composers of the 20th century. Some of the compositions are old friends while others may be less familiar, but all are handled with authenticity and originality that ensures that the integrity of the composer is uppermost while the quartet are able to breathe life into the music in way that allows for some fiery and lyrical solos form both guitarists, superbly and sympathetically accompanied by bassist Mikele Montolli and Matt Fishwick on drums.

Nigel Price no necesita presentación como uno de los guitarristas más importantes del Reino Unido, y le pisa los talones el joven guitarrista francés Alban Claret. Juntar a los dos para formar un cuarteto fue una idea inspiradora.
Puede ser inusual encontrar un cuarteto con una línea frontal de dos guitarras, pero con Entente Cordiale se nos presenta precisamente eso, en un excelente álbum que nos lleva a un viaje que presenta a algunos de los grandes compositores de jazz del siglo XX. Algunas de las composiciones son viejas amigas, mientras que otras pueden ser menos familiares, pero todas se manejan con autenticidad y originalidad que aseguran que la integridad del compositor sea lo más importante, mientras que el cuarteto puede dar vida a la música de una manera que permite algunos solos ardientes y líricos de ambos guitarristas, magníficamente y con simpatía acompañados por el bajista Mikele Montolli y Matt Fishwick en la batería.

Tricotism • Nostalgia
"This is our second recording together and it is very much in the same mould. We've taken inspiration from the great Peterson/Pass/Brown trio. The repertoire is broadly from the Great American Songbook with a couple of curve balls thrown in. All three of us love to groove and this unit and recording provides these things aplenty!
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
«Esta es nuestra segunda grabación juntos y sigue la misma línea. Nos hemos inspirado en el gran trío Peterson/Pass/Brown. El repertorio se basa en gran parte en el Gran Cancionero Americano, con un par de variaciones. A los tres nos encanta el groove, ¡y este grupo y esta grabación lo ofrecen en abundancia!
Esperamos que disfrutéis escuchándolo tanto como nosotros haciéndolo.

Nigel Price • Fools Gold
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. 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
Keith Ames, Musician magazine (Fool’s Gold review)
///////
Nigel es un excelente guitarrista de jazz que suele tocar con estrellas emergentes, pero aquí ha publicado un álbum de su propio trío con el llamativo órgano de Pete Whittaker y el impresionante trabajo de baquetas y escobillas de Matt Home. Booze Blooze, compuesta por Nigel, da a cada uno de los músicos la oportunidad de mostrar sus habilidades por turnos y presenta su arte y habilidad. El suave tema que da título al disco, sin embargo, presenta la inventiva de Nigel tocando una sola cuerda y la posterior versión del Blues Riff de Wes Montgomery también deja espacio a Pete para mezclar un poco de material de acordes al estilo de Jack McDuff.

Nigel Price Organ Trio • Heads & Tales
Some might say the fine young bop guitarist Nigel Price is stuck in a 1960s time warp in which Wes Montgomery was the king of jazz guitar – but he sounds happy about it. Price's rolling swing and mix of the improv lyricism of Montgomery and Django Reinhardt are enhanced by saxophonist Alex Garnett, who delivers an authoritative tribute to the hip gravitas of sax heavyweights such as Dexter Gordon. Price's Hammond organ trio with Garnett and Latin-jazz percussionist Snowboy play the first of these two discs, breezing through a mix of jazz classics and apposite originals. Disc two (Tales) features Price on acoustic guitars, in overdubbed duets with himself on a set of standards. Garnett's superb contribution lifts the venture above the nostalgic, and for classic-jazz fans, it'll be pretty appealing.
