Tango No. 9 shows feature guest experts who teach Tango basics to audience members before the show as well as perform in it. At the end of each show, the group opens the dance floor and turns their concert into a dance party.

About their new CD
Here Live No Fish, the group's third album, includes tango standards, original compositions, reinterpreted classics from Piazzolla to Prokofiev, and a guest vocal turn by indie music legend Jonathan Richman — songs that at once pay homage to tango’s seductive past while crafting a new vision of the music’s storied future.

About the group
Tango No. 9 is an all-star Bay-Area ensemble (members have played with The Residents, Tom Waits, Club Foot Orchestra, Eric McFadden, Extra Action Marching Band), united in a love for a famously elusive non-native art form.They add the skin-to-skin, sex-breathed passion of classic tango to the genre-bending virtuosity of San Francisco's renowned cutting-edge chamber music scene (e.g. Tin Hat, Kronos Quartet, Rova Saxophone Quartet, Turtle Island).Since 1998, the group has delved deeply into the world of tango, playing countless milongas, collaborating with many of the top dancers on the west coast, and recording two critically acclaimed albums – the all-Piazzolla All Them Cats in Recoleta (lauded by JazzIz Magazine as one of the best modern tango CDs of 2002) and 2006's exploration of early tango, Radio Valencia.
Tango No. 9 is: Catharine Clune, violin; Joshua Raoul Brody, piano; Isabel Douglass, accordion/bandoneon; Greg Stephens, trombone
