DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe SFJAZZ Collective is an all-star  jazz ensemble compris
 ing eight of the finest performer/composers at work  in jazz today. Launch
 ed in 2004 by SFJAZZ&mdash\;the West Coast&rsquo\;s largest  nonprofit jaz
 z institution and the presenter of the annual San Francisco  Jazz Festival
 &mdash\;the Collective has become one of the most exciting and  acclaimed 
 groups on the jazz scene. As the New York Times hailed the Collective upon
  its debut\, &ldquo\;A serious jazz band rises in San Francisco.&rdquo\;
 In addition to its outstanding line-up\, the SFJAZZ Collective has  been p
 raised for its innovative approach to repertoire. Each year\, the  ensembl
 e performs a new list of compositions by a modern jazz master and  new pie
 ces by the Collective members (commissioned by SFJAZZ). Through  this pion
 eering approach\, simultaneously honoring jazz&rsquo\;s recent history  wh
 ile championing the music&rsquo\;s up-to-the-minute directions\, the  Coll
 ective embodies SFJAZZ&rsquo\;s commitment to jazz as a living\,  ever-rel
 evant art form.\nTo cultivate its distinctive sound\, the SFJAZZ Collectiv
 e convenes in  San Francisco each spring for a multi-week residency. Throu
 ghout this  extended rehearsal period&mdash\;a rarity in today&rsquo\;s ja
 zz&mdash\;the octet workshops  the season&rsquo\;s new repertoire and inte
 racts with the Bay Area community  through SFJAZZ&rsquo\;s education progr
 ams for youth and adults. The Collective  then takes to the performance st
 age\, including home season concerts  under the auspices of the SFJAZZ Spr
 ing Season and a national and  international tour\, with stops in some of 
 the world&rsquo\;s most prominent  concert halls.\nAfter exploring the wor
