Brand X
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRA : Brand X
Brand X is a classic jazz fusion band. Most of their albums were recorded in the 1970s and 1980s.
The band was formed in 1975-1976, the name Brand X apparently emerged out of an inside joke from the recording sessions. The founding members were John Goodsall (guitars), Percy Jones (bass guitar), Robin Lumley (keyboards) and Phil Collins (drums). Bill Bruford was also involved in the band's early days, but never recorded with the band. Goodsall, Jones, Lumley and Collins all also appeared on 1976's Marscape, released by Jack Lancaster and Robin Lumley and recorded around the same time as the first Brand X album, Unorthodox Behaviour.
Goodsall and Jones are the core of the band while other musicians including most notably John Giblin (bass), Mike Clarke (drums) and Kenwood Dennard appear from album to album.
