Jay Collins Band Music StorePowered by IndieKazooThe Songbird & The Pigeon About Jay Collins BandNew York City horn-player, singer, and songwriter, Jay Collins learned his craft on the job. A professional since the age of 18, Jay is known for his saxophone and flute work with many artists including Gregg Allman & Allman Brothers Band (rock icons), Jacky Terrasson (jazz pianist), Bobby Sanabria (latin jazz), James Hunter (soul/blues), Andrew Hill (jazz legend), Levon Helm (of The Band), and the late LeRoy Vinnegar (jazz bassist). Jay's rough and gritty voice serves him well when performing his own blues influenced songs, and he has developed thru years of work into a formidable band-leader and performer of his own music. "His soulful 'croak' deserves to be heard." says Timeout NY The Jay Collins Band is a 6-member combo that uses New Orleans-style funk, classic jazz, rock, and blues to create a powerful brew of original music. The San Francisco Chronicle said: "With a surprisingly gruff voice, he delivers his rollicking original tunes that blend the down-and-out sensibility of Tom Waits with the barrel-house American roots sound of The Band". This group, which is based in New York City, features piano, 2 drummers, guitar, bass, and backing vocals, and has performed at many NYC venues including the Museum of Modern Art, Smalls, Blue Note, Living Room, Jazz Gallery, 55 Bar, and played the Monterey Jazz Festival in California. Mr. Collins also has traveled the world as one of the U.S. Jazz Ambassadors and performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Visit Jay's new website! |
