The music scene is about to embark on an extraordinary journey with the grand
premiere of Ennea, a new cosmic project fueled by the vibrancy of jazz and
intergenerational creativity.
Initiated by Bob Arnedo, former leader of the legendary Lausanne-based group Jazzorange, Ennea
presents itself as a musical odyssey that bridges eras and celebrates the artistic heritage of the
capital of Vaud. This eclectic collective fosters dialogue across generations, musical worlds, and
horizons, revisiting iconic compositions with a unique collective energy.
The premiere took place at the Jumeaux Jazz Club; this welcoming venue will host an audience invited to
embark on a journey between tradition and innovation, at the heart of a fusion of jazz, Latin, rock, pop, and R&B. A tour is
scheduled to begin in March 2026.
