On Saturday, December 7 at 8p.m., jazz supergroup Artemis make their Carnegie Hall debut in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage.
Each renowned for their outstanding solo work, these powerhouse musicians include Cécile McLorin Salvant (vocals), Renee Rosnes (music director and piano), Anat Cohen (clarinet and bass clarinet), Melissa Aldana (tenor saxophone), Ingrid Jensen (trumpet), Noriko Ueda (bass), and Allison Miller (drums).
Hailing from America, Canada, France, Israel, Chile and Japan, the musicians first assembled as a band for a European tour in summer 2017. With each member being a bandleader in her own right, were able to align schedules and perform at the Newport Jazz Festival, Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and the Ferring Jazz Bistro in St. Louis.
The group has just been signed to the world-famous Blue Note record label, releasing their debut album in the new year along with upcoming appearances at San Francisco’s SFJAZZ, Chicago’s Symphony Center, and Washington D.C.’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
