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:
“It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.”
—Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
“Anyone who is kind to man knows the fragmentariness of most men, and wants to arrange a society of power in which men fall naturally into a collective wholeness, since they cannot have an individual wholeness. In this collective wholeness they will be fulfilled. But if they make efforts at individual fulfilment, they must fail for they are by nature fragmentary.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
