Live jazz and black and white films every Thursday at Wynyard Grill.
Keith Price is Canadian guitarist and composer who recently moved to New Zealand to join the faculty at the University of Auckland School of music. Price’s omnivorous listening habits are the foundation of his expressive musical style which combines old jazz, new jazz, folk, noise and funk.
His sound is a mixture of colours, textures, and flavours from different genres, filtered on stage through the act of improvisation. Whether performing with an eight-piece band, a trio, or as a solo guitarist, Price’s musical approach focuses on openness, imagination, and the search for a shared connection with the audience.
Price studied at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and the University of Manitoba before completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in music at Brandon University where he studied with internationally-recognised pianist and composer Michael Cain.
"The notes and chords he uses weaves this dream-like atmosphere in his environment. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of silence with his instrument and he knows how to use space in his playing, the result being that the atmosphere stays even though he doesn’t play constantly. The rest of the band carries the atmosphere he’s created."
