The genesis of ARTEMIS can be traced back to 2016 when Rosnes first assembled an all-star ensemble to celebrate International Women’s Day with live performances in Europe. Nine years later, as the band releases its third album, the collective continues to demonstrate its staying power and prove how the music transcends any notion of patriarchy. But ARTEMIS’ purpose has also expanded, reaching beyond special projects, cultural initiatives, or the supergroup concept.

“Our goal is to make honest music that touches people,” says Rosnes. “We inspire one another and feel passionate about playing together. All that positive energy comes through in the music and I believe the audiences feel it.”

Today, ARTEMIS exists as a deeply committed core unit who’ve played together more than any other incarnation of the group. “As a quintet, there’s a greater feeling of elasticity. We’ve become looser and tighter at the same time,” Rosnes says.  Jensen is “a stunningly original voice on trumpet and can pollinate a chord with the perfect note.” As Jensen’s ideal foil on the frontline, Glover is “a bold storyteller and plays with a innate sense of purpose and freedom.” Ueda is “a virtuoso of the bass whose lines are centered and buoyant.” Miller is “the band’s center of gravity as well as being a gifted orchestrator behind the drumkit.” Together with Rosnes and Ueda, the rhythm section puts power and finesse in perfect equilibrium.
