The musicians of Artemis first assembled as a band for a 13-city European Jazz Festival tour in summer 2017. Named “Artemis” after the Greek goddess who was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, the twin sister of Apollo, the patron and protector of young girls and the goddess of hunting, wild nature, and chastity, they released their debut album for famed Blue Note Records in September 2020 and plan to record their next album in August 2022 for spring 2023 release. The album features original compositions, written and arranged by the band members. The group has performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, Saratoga Jazz Festival, Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, SFJAZZ Center, NJPAC, Chicago Symphony Center’s Orchestra Hall and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and completed an extensive European tour.
