Nigel Price & Libor Šmoldas @ Guildford Pavilion
The two guitarists met some eight years ago and immediately clicked. Two kindred spirits with an irrepressible will to play ‘no nonsense’ jazz, tinged with blues and soul. Libor Šmoldas is a Prague based jazz guitarist and composer who has worked and recorded with international stars such as James Morrison, George Mraz, Jeff Ballard, Sam Yahel, Bobby Watson, Adam Nussbaum, Brian Charette, Jay Anderson, Stephen Keogh and more. He has released eight albums as a leader. While playing with Ondrej Pivec and his Organic Quartet, the band was awarded with Andel award for best jazz recording of the year. Over a career spanning more than 30 years, award winning jazz guitarist Nigel Price has become widely acknowledged as one of the most highly regarded and hardest working musicians in the business. He has played on more than 60 albums including 10 as a leader, spent ten years with acid jazz outfit The Filthy Six and was a member of James Taylor’s band for 3 years (with whom he recorded 5 albums). Nigel has toured the UK 19 times, and has picked up a Parliamentary Jazz Award (Best Jazz Ensemble, 2010), a nomination for a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2014) and a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2016) along the way. Nigel is a regular performer at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club where he has made more than 600 appearances. With Theo Hayhurst on drums, Marianne Windham on bass. This promises to be an unforgettable night of world-class jazz guitar, swinging rhythm, and joyful musical conversation. Don’t miss it!
