Empress Afternoon
ArtemisDuration: 05:07
Artemis is an all-star group that is brimming with musicality and technique. It happens that the group is all-female. The band members’ each are first-call performers: Renee Rosnes on piano, Ingrid Jensen on trumpet, Nicole Glover on tenor sax, Allison Miller on drums, Noriko Ueda on bass, and—in different time periods—Anat Cohen or Alexa Tarantino on additional woodwinds. Several members share compositional duties, but what connects their songs is an intense energy as well as appealing lead lines that are catchy while sounding outside-the-box. On "Empress Afternoon," Rosnes has rearranged her piece from the early 2000s to make the most of a robust horn section and set the tune alight.
