ARTEMIS
The brainchild of pianist and composer Renee Rosnes, ARTEMIS is a powerful ensemble of modern virtuosos. Named for the Greek goddess of the hunt, the multinational, multigenerational quintet features pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller. After experiencing an ARTEMIS live show at the Newport Jazz Festival, Blue Note President Don Was signed the band to the label. Artemis’s 3rd recording for the label, ARBORESQUE was released in early 2025, and remained atop the Jazzweek National Radio Charts for a full 5 weeks. The music is testament to the group’s evolving musical landscape and features stellar arrangements and riveting originals contributed by all members of the band. NPR said Artemis is “a killer line-up of players who hail from all over the world and converge on this extremely cosmopolitan, sleek, rhythm-forward, modern sound.” Each musician is a brilliant player and composer. Artemis performs with power, passion, and high-wire intensity. It’s no wonder the band has been recognized as “Group of the Year” by Downbeat Readers Poll for three consecutive years: 2023, 2024 & 2025! Rosnes says, “Our goal is to make honest music that touches people. We inspire one another and feel passionate about playing together. All that positive energy comes through in the sound and I believe audiences can feel the electricity.”
"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
THE GENESIS & HISTORY OF ARTEMIS
Throughout its eight-decade history, Blue Note Records has been celebrated as a home for the leading voices in jazz. The label continued that tradition with the release of the self-titled debut from ARTEMIS, a supergroup initially comprising of seven of the most acclaimed musicians in modern jazz. Featuring pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, clarinetist Anat Cohen, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Noriko Ueda, drummer Allison Miller, and featured vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, ARTEMIS conjured a powerful collective voice from this septet of visionary bandleaders and composers.
The band that was to become ARTEMIS initially assembled at Rosnes’ behest for a European festival tour in 2017. “I chose musicians whom I respected and wanted to make music with,” the pianist says, “and after performing together, I realized we had a brilliant chemistry. We all decided to explore the possibilities of what might develop over time, and that’s how ARTEMIS was born.”
The group is distinctive not only for bringing together singular artists, each renowned for their own remarkable solo careers; but for its multi-generational and globe-spanning line-up. Despite its relatively brief existence, ARTEMIS has been featured in Vanity Fair and on NPR’s Jazz Night in America, and has performed on some of the country’s most iconic stages, from Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Tisch Center for the Arts to the Newport Jazz Festival.
ARTEMIS is currently comprised of pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller.
