The
Collective, one of the most creative and distinctive jazz ensembles
in the northwestern United States, features trumpeter Larry Engstrom,
pianist David Ake, bassist Hans Halt, drummer Andrew Heglund, and saxophonist
Peter Epstein.
In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule, the group's
members are dedicated instructors, and form the core of the Jazz Studies
area at the University of Nevada, Reno. The Collective is also available
for clinics and festivals. Each of the group's musicians is eager to
share his knowledge of improvisation, composition, history, and other
aspects of the jazz craft.
