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:
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
