Bio:
In the last few years, Tim Price has had the extreme good fortune to have bands of his own featuring world class stellar players like Lew Tabackin, Bennie Green,Carl Allen, Ray Drummond, Allison Miller and Bill Goodwin.
Tim's travels have also taken him to New Orleans in September 2004 for a very special "Coltrane Tribute" with Tony Dagradi, and superstar drummer Stanton Moore from the jam band "Galactic". New Orleans finest was on bass, Chris Severen, and from "Los Hombres Calientes" pianist Victor Atkins. The Coltrane event as well as the club "Snug Harbor" was SRO !!
As were gigs that Tim played in the East Coast area with his bands with Rachel Z and drummer BillGoodwin. At this point in time Tim's career couldn't be more positive, things are moving in a very positive way.
As a clinician Tim has instigated a "Tribute To Oliver Nelson" in Saint Paul, MN as well as a favorite clinician and artist at the Cape May Jazz Festival.
Tim Price is a Selmer saxophone clinician, performer and educator worldwide. A Berklee College of Music graduate and one of the country's foremost woodwind artists.
His stature at the North Sea Jazz Festival couldn't have been more prestigous with a backup band of Bennie Green on piano, Ray Drummond on bass, and Carl Allen on drums. Tim's special guest that night at the end of his set was Dutch superstar tenor titan Hans Dulfer.Tim also has been a special guest with Grateful Dead member Bob Weir's RATDOG.
His extensive studies have taken him into one on one learning with jazz masters like Sal Nistico, Charlie Banacos, Fred Lipsius, Sonny Stitt, Ray Pizzi and Kalman Opperman.
