Biography
Named after the Greek goddess of hunting, Artemis is an all-women jazz collective known for their deeply sophisticated and adroit post-bop jazz. The group debuted in 2020 with their eponymous full-length.
Formed in 2017, Artemis features the talents of pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, clarinetist Anat Cohen, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Noriko Ueda, drummer Allison Miller, and vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant. Rosnes initially assembled the group for a European tour, hoping to showcase and build upon the talents of each musician. Following well-received live shows at Carnegie Hall and the 2018 Newport Jazz Festival, the band released their debut album, Artemis, on Blue Note Records. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
