Keith Price is a Canadian guitarist/composer living in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) where he serves as Senior Lecturer and coordinator of jazz studies at the University of Auckland. He first learned chords from his Grandfather on a dark-red hollow-bodied guitar, and after hearing the intensity and rawness of John Coltrane at the age of fifteen, he was irrevocably drawn into the world of jazz.
Keith's omnivorous listening habits are the foundation of his expressive musical style, which combines old jazz, new jazz, folk, noise, ambient, and funk. His sound is a mixture of colours, textures, and flavours from a range of genres and influences, filtered on stage through the process of improvisation. Whether performing with a double-quartet, a trio, or as a solo guitarist, Keith’s musical focus is on openness, imagination, and the search for a shared connection with fellow musicians and audiences alike.
