Artemis: Arboresque
by Mike Jurkovic
The virtuoso musicians of Artemis--pianist Renee Rosnes trumpeter Ingrid Jensen saxophonist Nicole Glover bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller --get down to business quick on their third for Blue Note Arboresque. A testament to collaborative intuition and instinct, Arboresque may vary more in tempo and mood than its acclaimed predecessors--2023's ringing In Real Time and 2020's standard-setting debut Artemis--but it never lacks purpose or promise. It never goes looking for something it does not find. Jumping off with unsung pianist Donald Brown's ...

by C. Andrew Hovan
Artemis Finney Chapel Artist Recital Series Oberlin, OH March 13, 2024 Much like society in general, women in the jazz arena have historically had a hard road to travel in a space that is clearly dominated by males. In recent years, the pendulum has thankfully shifted towards acknowledging the talents of many female artists contributing significantly to the jazz cannon. Somewhat of a rarity, Artemis is a true super group comprised wholly of female ...

by Katchie Cartwright
For drummer Allison Miller, a key feature of In Real Time is that this second Blue Note release captures the unique ensemble sound of Artemis. She stresses a palpable sonic integrity that she attributes to trust and chemistry. Renee Rosnes emphasizes the singularity of each player in the equation, underscoring “a striking juxtaposition between the stylistic approaches of the two saxophonists," Nicole Glover and Alexa Tarantino; “each illuminates the other." She adds, “ Nobody sounds like Ingrid," which is certainly ...

by Mike Jurkovic
Artemis double down on their fiery yet regal 2020 self-titled, Blue Note debut with a punchy, calligraphic flare (thanks in part to their younger contemporaries, in demand multi-reedist Alexa Tarantino and hellfire saxophonist Nicole Glover), catch fire, and watch it spread. An early, sure-fire contender for the tops-of-twenty-three list barrage, In Real Time is really very hard to resist, even when it falls out of step. “Balance of Time," though intoxicating in texture, seems out of sequence just ...

by Joe Dimino
For our commemorative 800th Episode of Neon Jazz, we begin with Artemis and music off their 2023 album In Real Time. As we celebrate 12 years on the air, we honor the public relations champions in the jazz world with music they selected as their jazz hook. The gems include Art Blakey, Sonny Stitt and Miles Davis. We also get some Kansas City flavor in there with Lucy Wijnands, Alan Voss and the great E.E. Pointer. Thank you for the ...

by R.J. DeLuke
A jazz band was formed a few years ago, comprised completely of women. That was by design for a moment in time at a jazz festival. But the convergence of these great musicians--dubbed collectively as Artemis--is growing to be something more. The members coalesced in a special way. Its importance remains to be seen. But the members feel a special bond and recognize they have a contribution to make. The hope is to maintain a presence, and grow, ...
