Ars Nova Workshop is pleased to present the return of The Claudia Quintet, celebrating the release of their eighth album, Super Petite.

On Super Petite, the eighth release by the critically-acclaimed, proudly eccentric Claudia Quintet, drummer-composer John Hollenbeck - known for his work with Meredith Monk and Bob Brookmeyer - acrobatically explores the dichotomy between brevity and complexity. The oxymoronic title of the new album, released in May 2016 by Cuneiform Records, captures the essence of its ten new compositions, which pack all of the wit and virtuosity that listeners have come to expect from the Claudia Quintet into the time frame of radio-friendly pop songs.
