About

Enjoy a delicious 3 course lunch (included in the price) accompanied by sublime jazz from the awarding-winning Nigel Price (guitar), teaming up with double bass virtuoso Ashley John Long.

They will be celebrating the perfoming duo of Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pederson. After playing together with Oscar Peterson for some years, Joe and NHOP formed a partnership that for many people is the absolute pinnacle of the jazz guitar, double bass duo format.

There aren't many musicians out there who would be so brave as to take on this material but if anyone is going to attempt it, it's Nigel and Ashley!
