ARTEMIS & NIÑO JOSELE: BAJAÑI
ARTEMIS IS FEATURED ON NEW RECORDING & DOCUMENTARY FILM DIRECTED AND PRODUCED BY FERNANDO TRUEBA, OF OSCAR-WINNING "CALLE 54" FAME
Part concert film, part monograph, part homage, Bajañí allows its audience to succumb to the sounds and rhythm of the titular instrument. Bajañí means “guitar” in Caló, the traditional language of the Romani people in Spain and Portugal. It’s a fitting title, corresponding to the formal simplicity and acoustic flow of the film, effectively listening to the guitar songs and singing of flamenco guitarist Niño Josele. His interpretations of traditional and original songs create a musical relief connecting flamenco, jazz, and Brazilian music, bringing him into dialogue with figures including Caetano Veloso, ARTEMIS, Ron Carter, Rubén Blades, Kenny Barron, and Marisa Monte among others. Each piece is framed as a personal encounter with the artist, sitting close to the camera which studies his every move. "One of the most evocative passages is the interpretation of "Galaxias" with the jazz quintet ARTEMIS, fronted by Renee Rosnes at the piano."

Yes, ARTEMIS is named for a Greek goddess. This jazz supergroup has super powers and they're on full display from beginning to end during this Tiny Desk. The multi-generational and multinational group is composed of pianist Renee Rosnes, drummer (and Tiny Desk alum) Allison Miller, bassist Noriko Ueda, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, all bandleaders with their own prolific outputs.
The quintet presents three original selections from their latest album, ARBORESQUE. "Olive Branch," a composition from musical director Rosnes, opens the set. Solos from her and Ueda provide the soil and roots, respectively, in which a trumpet solo from Jensen, then a dynamic solo from Miller, flourish. Miller's meditative "Little Cranberry" features soothing solos from Rosnes and Glover. It fades out in calming fashion to prepare you for Jensen's high energy closer, "Sights Unseen," which erupts in a dizzying flurry of Tilt-A-Whirl-esque solos from Jensen, Glover and Rosnes that take you on a ride you won't want to get off.
