Max Collie RIP
*MAX COLLIE – World Champion of Jazz*

*John Maxwell Collie* was born in Melbourne, Australia on 21st February
1931. He first heard professional jazz in1946 listening to Graham Bell’s
lunchtime concerts at The New Theatre Melbourne. By 1948 he was playing
with a local band and shortly after, leading it.

The famous Melbourne New Orleans Jazz Band were on tour in Europe and Max
received a cable offering him the trombone chair, so in April 1962 Max
arrived in England [to coincide with Beatlemania and the collapse of the
British Trad scene] to tour Europe until that band returned to Australia a
year later. Max decided to stay and joined the London City Stompers,
becoming leader after a year, until February 1966, when he formed *Max
Collie's Rhythm Aces* and that band, notwithstanding the collapse of the UK
jazz scene, went on to become world famous. Max was simply a great band
leader and got the best out of everyone, converting them to his unique
sound. He knew that no group of artistes no matter how talented as
individuals can bring forth the authentic New Orleans style if they can’t
work together day after day as his band did, as the last of the touring
bands. He was able to get his highly professional and experienced musicians
as though by magic to play the style and in the way he wanted and achieve
the level of musical perfection required.

In 1972 Sam Johnson, an avid jazz fan, whose stepfather had the longest
running jazz radio show in history and whose uncle was President of the
USA, started following the band. Sam Johnson became the American Tour
Manager and with Martin Ross the bands only overall manager, led Max into a
different world, first with a 25 days tour of the USA, then a 45 day tour,
then a 66 day tour and finally an 84 day tour. All unheard of for a non US
musician and the nationwide USA success of these 220 US appearances led to
Max winning the World Championship of Jazz in Indianapolis against the
cream of North American jazz bands.  A total of 44 states were travelled by
band wagon and most jazz festivals and clubs across the USA were played,
along with many TV appearances and countless radio shows. Terrific
publicity followed this success in the jazz world and tours of Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland and Japan were added to the regular European
itinerary. The Bands Manager Martin Ross, persuaded Max that it was time to
take advantage of his new found fame and do a Theatre Show called simply
“Max Collie’s *New Orleans Mardi Gras”*, which although a vehicle for Max
also included the legendary Ken Colyer and Cy Laurie and turned out to be
the most successful jazz show in British jazz history performing
approximately 700 shows across every major Theatre venue in Britain
including South Bank, The Barbican, St David’s Hall Cardiff. Max had now
played over 3500 major jazz festivals from Antibes to New Orleans itself,
1200 theatre concerts, countless jazz clubs and made 50 recordings many of
which are now collector’s items, plus  DVD’s and 100’s of TV and Radio show
appearances. He has also played for the US government and before Her
Majesty the Queen.

His secret was that not only was he a great band leader but he had also
developed his own sound and had a marvellous dedication to his concept of
this unique art form. No engagement was just another gig to Max. 100%
effort went into every performance, which is why such a high standard was
maintained over the years. Artistes who were members of the band are in
themselves a history of British Jazz and include:-

*Trumpets*:- Chez Chesterman, Trevor Arnold, John Keen, Phil Mason, Denny
Ilett, Ken Colyer.
