This art form has been taught and performed at SJSU under the tute- lage of Daniel Sabanovich, percus- sionist and associate professor of improvised music studies, since 1991. Sabanovich said the SJSU ensem- ble debuted in 1989 with guest per- cussionist Pete Escovedo and has received acclamation from the San Jose Jazz and Latin sphere for more than 10 years. He said Escovedo is a legendary percussionist and band- leader, who has been associated with Latin Jazz for more than 25 years and lives in the Bay Area. The SJSU ensemble has high expectations, and the competition among musicians to be a part of the group is demanding, but that is part of the atmosphere and should be anticipated, Sabanovich said. "Auditions are open, but the best players will be chosen," Sabanovich said. "Competition to be a part of the group is known. But competi- tion always exists in music. The bet- ter players will get the gig."
