ARTEMIS brings its current five-piece lineup to The Pocket: founder and pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller. The multinational, multigenerational ensemble performs as a group of established bandleaders, drawing on original compositions from its members alongside its arrangements of classic material. Their latest Blue Note release, Arboresque, is the group’s third for the label.
Rosnes founded ARTEMIS in 2017, naming the ensemble for the Greek goddess. The band has appeared at major festivals and venues around the world, including a May 2025 NPR Tiny Desk Concert. NPR called ARTEMIS “a killer line-up of players, composers and performers” converging on “an extremely cosmopolitan, sleek, rhythm-forward, modern sound.” Arboresque was named among The Guardian’s Top Ten Jazz Albums of 2025, with praise for its “cliché-free individuality and congenial collective spirit radiantly combined.” ARTEMIS was voted DownBeat’s Jazz Group of the Year in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the Jazz Journalists Association named it Mid-Size Ensemble of the Year in 2024 and 2025.
The Pocket offers a close-up encounter with world-class jazz musicians in a small, focused setting where every note feels immediate and unfiltered. The room is designed to bring listeners near the performers, creating a direct connection that makes the music feel personal and vivid. Seating is limited and arranged to emphasize attentive listening rather than casual socializing, with a bar available to complement the experience. Shows are ticketed, encouraging an audience that is there to fully engage with the performance. The venue’s location in Manhattan places it within easy reach of the city’s vibrant cultural pulse, making it a perfect spot for an evening dedicated to serious jazz appreciation without distractions.
