BY ERIK STABILE—The Collective, a jazz ensemble featuring UNR’s own Jazz Studies Faculty, played at Se7en in the West Street Market last Friday. The group attracted a diverse crowd, filling Se7en’s 14 barstools and remaining tables. Those left standing tapped their toes through an exquisite jazz performance that experimented with Bulgarian modal techniques.
How to describe a Buster Blue show? Chains are frequently involved. Cowbells are present. A megaphone stirs the crowd and singing often turns into dramatic outbursts. All blues break loose.
