HICKEY-SHANAFELT 9OLLECTIVE                                                  Jazz Kitchen / November 2023

Founded in 2019, the Hickey-Shanafelt 9ollective is a contemporary jazz nonet dedicated to the performance and development of the modern jazz repertoire. Based in Indianapolis, the group is composed of established, local professionals and young, up-and-coming musicians who share a passion for bringing this music to our community. The ensemble is also an outlet for emerging and professional composers, arrangers, and performers, programming both original music and fresh arrangements of familiar standards. The 9ollective has enjoyed performances at Merrimans’ Playhouse, the Indiana State Fair, and the world-famous Jazz Kitchen, including collaborative shows with Beech Grove visual artist Kelsey Behl. They have also performed in Chicago, IL at the Fulton Street Collective gallery, and in Akron, OH at BLU Jazz+. The group recorded and released their debut album “illuminate” in October, 2022, depicting the eclectic styles and writing of the Indianapolis jazz scene.
