Brand X

Brand X were a British jazz fusion band formed in London in 1974. Primarily an instrumental band, they were initially active until 1981, followed by reformations during 1992–1999 and 2016–2020. The band's first recording and touring line-up consisted of guitarist John Goodsall, bassist Percy Jones, keyboardist Robin Lumley and Genesis drummer Phil Collins. Other members of the band at various times included Morris Pert, Kenwood Dennard, Chuck Burgi, J. Peter Robinson, Mike Clark and John Giblin. Goodsall, Jones and Lumley were involved with all the albums during the band's original 1974–1981 run. Jones ended all Brand X activities in 2020, despite resistance from the band's management and their attempts to revive the band with all-new personnel. John Goodsall died on 10 November 2021 and Robin Lumley died on 9 March 2023.
