For almost the entire two decades of their existence, beginning as their Talent Scout on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, Arnie Koch was the Salt City Five/Six Personal Manager. Under his management, the band had three recording contracts and two major talent agencies: Music Corporation of America and Associated Booking Corp. They played in about every major jazz club in the U.S. Fortunately for his family, Arnie never had to give up his day job with General Electric in public relations.
