Committed to performing original compositions and arrangements, the Hickey-Shanafelt 9ollective is an integral part to the growth and cultivation of the Indianapolis jazz scene.

"This band makes a fresh, exciting contribution to Indianapolis-based jazz. Its fitness for all manner of well-designed expression, together with the excellence of its players in both improvisational and written aspects of their work, makes their appearances worth penciling in on any jazz lover's calendar"          

"...a disciplined band with a fresh sound and an ample display of creativity and verve"
