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:
“There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.”
—Pat Metheny (b. 1954)
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
