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.
