ARTEMIS

L to R: Nicole Glover, Renee Rosnes, Allison Miller, Noriko Ueda, Ingrid Jensen

ARTEMIS is a powerful ensemble of modern jazz masters at the peak of their powers. The band features five of the top performers on the jazz scene today: pianist and founder Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Allison Miller. After hearing ARTEMIS perform at the 2018 Newport Jazz Festival, Blue Note Records President Don Was signed the group to the label. The quintet’s third album (release date Feb. 28, 2025 ) “Arboresque” is testament to their evolving sound, riveting originals and singular arrangements. Tours across America and Europe at major venues and festivals have garnered high praise from audiences and critics alike, leading to Artemis being named “Group of the Year” for two years running, in the 2023 and 2024 Downbeat Readers Poll. Their collective artistry creates unforgettable music-making of high-wire interplay and pure joy.

Their set played like an expertly crafted mixtape, moving from a knotty version of Thelonious Monk’s “Brilliant Corners” to a surprisingly dramatic arrangement of the Beatles’ “Fool on the Hill.” ~ Rolling Stone Magazine

“Deep-swinging and technically accomplished, Blue Note supergroup Artemis produces a stellar follow up to its 2020 debut.” ~DownBeat

“Robust voicings, free-jazz diversions and searching modal patterns all feature in the intricate style of Artemis…so distinctive is each voice and so striking is their sense of unity.” ~ The London Times

“A killer line-up of players, composer and performers who hail from all over the world… they all converge on this extremely cosmopolitan, sleek, rhythm-forward, modern sound.” ~ NPR
