Musicians tend to work best in collaborations, which is exactly what is happening at Theatre 1308, the art space which helped debut the new Calgary Jazz Composer Collective for their Jazz @ 1308 series.
The collective held their first concert, titled Vol. 1, on Nov. 23 to a full house of fans. Each time the group plays, they plan to arrange new members and perform original pieces with like-minded musicians. The Collective gets a different ensemble of performers and instruments for each show, making each night unique.'
