The genesis of the acclaimed jazz group ARTEMIS can be traced back to 2016 when pianist Renee Rosnes first assembled an all-star ensemble to celebrate International Womens Day with live performances in Europe. Nine years on, as the band releases its third Blue Note album, “ARBORESQUE”, the collective continues to demonstrate its staying power and prove how the music transcends any notion of patriarchy. But ARTEMIS purpose has also expanded, reaching beyond special projects, cultural initiatives, or the supergroup concept. On the new recording, they explore a loose theme of natural and environmental beauty. Even more so, however, “ARBORESQUE” is a paean to the sheer joy of collaboration and creativity.

Featuring a quintet line up helmed by pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes with a stellar line up of pre-eminent jazz musicians: trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Uedea and drummer Allison Miller.
