JazzTimes Reader's Poll 2020: Best New Artist

Jazz Journalists Association: Mid-Size Ensemble of the Year 2021

ARTEMIS

The brainchild of Renee Rosnes, Artemis is a powerful ensemble of modern masters. Named for the Greek goddess of the hunt, the band was founded in 2017 under the banner of International Women's Day. Artemis' performance at the 2018 Newport Jazz Festival was so electric, Blue Note Records President Don Was signed the group to the label. Tour dates across Europe and North America followed, including performances at Carnegie Hall, the Monterey Jazz Festival and SFJAZZ among others. Artemis has been featured in Vanity Fair, on the cover of DownBeat, and on NPR’s Jazz Night in America. The band was awarded Jazz Group of the Year by the 2023 Downbeat Reader’s Poll, and recently, 2024 Mid-Size Ensemble of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association. Three years after the release of Artemis’ self-titled debut album, the ensemble released In Real Time, a dynamic follow-up that highlights the improvisational strength of its members as well as their respective gifts as composers.

"Collectively, the sheer force of the group's ability is staggering!" 
~ Downbeat

“Together they revealed a shared intensity and suggested something alluring and new. The group’s debut release, 'Artemis' delivers on that promise... The real headline here is this ensemble’s cohesion, its ability to move gracefully through various styles and moods and to sound, by turns, authoritative and playful, locked-in or loose-limbed. In the tradition of drummer Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Artemis crafts an identifiable band sound rooted in sturdy yet flexible rhythms... Artemis means to upend expectations, gently and yet with force. Its music comes off like a nuanced argument for a fresh point of view.” 
~ Wall Street Journal

“On a sunny August afternoon in 2018, I was among the thousands of fans attending the Newport Jazz Festival who had their minds blown by Artemis. Although each individual member of this supergroup is a bona fide jazz titan, these incredible musicians dwell in the rarefied air of bands whose whole is greater than the sum of its already sublime parts. Their musical conversation is sophisticated, soulful and powerful, and their groove runs deep.”
~ Don Was, Blue Note Records President
