 draws heavily on it’s inspiration from the gritty organ combos of the 60’s, led by such names as Jimmy Smith and Richard Groove Holmes etc. Whilst happy to dip their toes in more contemporary waters the band never loses sight of the ingredients that make this one of the most enduring and appealing formats in jazz. With gospel-like soul, blues sensibility and the will to swing, the music refuses to alienate an audience.
Leading the trio is one of Britain’s finest guitarists Nigel Price, ex James Taylor Quartet and also a regular performer at Ronnie Scott’s. His blend of flowing bebop lines, blues feeling and swing, has made him instantly accessible and popular with jazz audiences. Joining Nigel is the phenomenal drummer Matt Home, who has toured with Barry Harris, Scott Hamilton, Jim Mullen and many others. Matt is also a house band regular at Ronnie Scott's and currently the drummer with Ray Gelato. Lastly, the dynamic organist Pete Whittaker, one of the few players who actually brings the real thing to gigs, has been involved with many jazz projects including Theo Travis' "Double Talk" and guitarist John Etheridge's "Blue Spirits". The band will be playing hard swinging jazz including originals from their recent album.
