PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. For the majority of their history, the band consisted of Sting (lead singer), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (percussion).
Origin: London, United Kingdom
Summers played with The Animals, Soft Machine and Kevin Ayers, Copeland was a member of Curved Air and had a brief solo career as Klark Kent, while Sting had played in various jazz fusion groups. The band manifested an understated virtuosity, applying their chops within reggae grooves and intricate arrangements. Between Summers' trenchant and ground breaking guitar work, Copeland's deceptively complex polyrhythms and Sting's loping bass and soaring vocals, The Police were indisputably the most adventurous 80s band.
After the band parted ways in 1984, their individual careers continued to flourish. Sting released Dream of the Blue Turtles in 1985, which featured a cast of accomplished jazz musicians. Sting's solo success continued with the release of Bring On The Night, & Nothing Like The Sun. Sting made his cinematic debut in the film adaptation of "Quadrophenia" and has appeared in 14 films since, including the cult classic "Dune".
