Arnie Co Nonet

Jazz has long been dominated by the big band and the combo – your average household jazz names might include the big bands of Count Basie and Duke Ellington, or combos like the Miles Davis Quintet or Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers – but the lesser-known “chamber jazz ensemble” has long held a unique place in jazz, despite its rarity.

The Arnie Co Nonet is a chamber jazz ensemble that features rising musicians from all around the Bay Area, and looks to celebrate the unique sounds of chamber jazz ensembles old and new through original compositions and arrangements of great tunes in the jazz idiom.
