Sextet is an improvisational group from Rocklin, California. 
In 2005 Bobby Schaulis, Austin Moore and Bret Peterson formed an improvisational jazz trio under the name of MYspace Friends for Hugo Chavez. Bobby (clarinet), Austin (trumpet), Bret (drum kit). Myspace Friends for Hugo Chavez disbanded after only recording one night session at Springview Johnson Park due to their drummer (Bret) having to leave for the NAVY (Accelerate your life!). At this point Nicholas Spangler was taken on as percussionist for the trio under a now unnamed collaboration. After a few practices the three men added Courtland Miles to the roster as a second trumpet player. Now under the name Sextet, the group recorded several sessions and developed their own sound. The group would later add Summer Avey (soprano saxophone, drums) and Pat Hills (guitar, percussion). On March 18th, 2006 Sextet debuted their new six person line up at the Fools Foundation in Sacramento, California with a very warm reception after the performance.
