The Jazz Funk Collective is a jazz-funk band from the United Kingdom. The band has released two albums, Messin' Around and A Dummy's Guide to Jazz. Members include Duncan Eagles on tenor saxophone, Leo Appleyard on guitar, and Chris Packham on drums.
Appleyard has been noted for his variety of instruments other than his primary instrument, the guitar, including the drums, piano and saxophone. He is often found gigging in and around London, including at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London's Soho, on the guitar, although he also plays the drums at The Heiburg Jazz Jam.
Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or collective:
“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“The last man of the world-city no longer wants to live—he may cling to life as an individual, but as a type, as an aggregate, no, for it is a characteristic of this collective existence that it eliminates the terror of death.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
