Artemis Is Fierce! ║ By Suzanne Lorge
During a Zoom conference call with DownBeat, the members of pianist Renee Rosnes’ septet Artemis discussed their eponymous Blue Note debut, their views on inclusivity in jazz and why the group decided to name itself after the Greek goddess of the hunt.
Maria Schneider: Navigating Disparate Worlds ║ By Ed Enright
The composer, arranger and bandleader’s recent creative output has taken a divergent approach that’s rooted in her ongoing struggles to deal with the dichotomies of modern living. Now, studio recordings of recent conceptual pieces that grew out of her frustration with big data have been released as Data Lords, an elaborately packaged double album that explores the conflicting relationships between the digital and natural worlds.
Billy Childs: Vast Musical Vision ║ By Dave Cantor
The pianist revisits compositional highlights from his past and expands his vision on new works from the new album Acceptance (Mack Avenue).
