The Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble has been improvising and innovating on stages around Philadelphia and the world since 1979. To say they are part of the musical fabric of this city is perhaps an understatement.

They remain relevant and original by being unpredictable, creative and fearless. Their latest series which fuses a variety of musical styles with Jazz and sub-genres of Jazz, tells a unique story as only Arpeggio can.

From Motown to R&B to Hard Bop to Coltrane, Arpeggio presents a unique summertime Jazz experience over five weeks, at Philadelphia’s premier Jazz Club.
