Keith Price

Keith Price

Keith Price is a jazz guitarist, teacher and instrumentalist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He performs both as a solo musician and with a range of Winnipeg jazz groups and artists, and he is also associated with dusty breaks and jazzy sample-based instrumental music.

Music and style

Price’s work is centred on guitar performance and jazz playing. He is described as an instrumentalist with an interest in dusty breaks, jazzy samples and human timing, with an emphasis on swing rather than tightly quantised sequencing. His broader musical activity places him in jazz, hip hop and downtempo contexts.

Education and teaching

He studies locally with Larry Roy and Steve Kirby, and abroad with Mick Goodrick, Ben Monder, Peter Bernstein, Jesse Van Ruller and Juri Hoeing. In addition to performing, he works as a professional jazz teacher.

Performance work

Price performs regularly with The Ron Paley Big Band, The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, Curtis Nowosad, Will Bonness, Amber Epp, Julian Bradford and Neil Watson. He also appears as a solo performer with Manitoba Artists In Health Care.

Online presence

He maintains an online presence through social media and Bandcamp, where his work is shared under his own name.
