Sure, ARTEMIS is called for a Greek goddess. This jazz supergroup has tremendous powers they usually’re on full show from starting to finish throughout this Tiny Desk. The multi-generational and multinational group consists 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 very own prolific outputs.
Right here the quintet presents three authentic picks from their newest album, ARBORESQUE. “Olive Department,” a composition from musical director Rosnes, opens the set. Solos from her and Ueda present the soil and roots, respectively, by which a trumpet solo from Jensen, then a dynamic solo from Miller, flourish. Miller’s meditative “Little Cranberry” options soothing solos from Rosnes and Glover. It fades out in calming trend to organize you for Jensen’s excessive vitality nearer, “Sights Unseen,” which erupts in a dizzying flurry of Tilt-A-Whirl-esque solos from Jensen, Glover and Rosnes that take you on a experience you will not need to get off.
