Blue Note ARBORESQUE - Artemis Fusion CD with Renee Rosnes Quintet

Blue Note's ARBORESQUE captures Artemis at the height of their creative momentum after winning DownBeat's Jazz Group of the Year poll for the second year in a row. Led by pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes, the quintet blends the fire of modern jazz fusion with the subtlety of thoughtful composition. Each of the eight tracks is written or arranged by a band member, giving listeners a fresh perspective on melody, rhythm, and improvisation. The lineup reads like a dream team: trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller bring their own signature voices, while Rosnes anchors the group with elegant piano work. NPR Music praised the group as a "femme fatal supergroup," a testament to the chemistry that shines through every note. Produced by Blue Note, the CD delivers pristine audio quality that highlights every dynamic shift and tonal color. Whether you are building a jazz collection or looking for new fusion sounds, ARBORESQUE offers a vibrant, rewarding listening experience that feels both contemporary and timeless.
