Jazz Roots at the Arsht Center in Miami Celebrates Great Women in Jazz December 7, 2018



ARTEMIS: 
GREAT WOMEN IN JAZZ
December 7, 2018 at 8 p.m.
Cecile McLorin Salvant, Renee Rosnes, Melissa Aldana, 
Anat Cohen, Noriko Ueda, Allison Miller and Ingrid Jensen
—a stunning ensemble of powerful women in jazz today!


The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County continues the 11th season of its internationally acclaimed JAZZ ROOTS series with ARTEMIS: GREAT WOMEN IN JAZZ on Friday, December 7, 2018. This new international, all-star band of women hailing from the United States, Canada, France, Chile, Israel and Japan features vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes, clarinetist Anat Cohen, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Allison Miller.

“This is truly one of the most anticipated concerts of this season,” says Dean Shelly Berg, JAZZ ROOTS artistic advisor. “Artemis is a supergroup of some of the most talented musicians performing in jazz today. We are excited to present them to our Miami audience and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of women in jazz.” The unmistakably American art form, from its beginnings, showcased the genius of both women and men. In fact, dozens of thrilling female vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Sarah Vaughn have become titans of American culture. Too often, however, the role of women instrumentalists and their musical achievements have been overlooked by history. This JAZZ ROOTS concert will celebrate women in jazz with an internationally diverse ensemble of extraordinary 21st Century music makers.

Two-time Best Jazz Vocal Album GRAMMY Award winner CÉCILE McLORIN SALVANT may well be the new voice of women in jazz. “She has poise, elegance, soul, humor, sensuality, power, virtuosity, range, insight, intelligence, depth and grace,” proclaimed no less an authority than Wynton Marsalis. Born and raised in Miami, she graduated from Coral Reef High School and then moved to Aix-en-Provence to study both classical music and law. “If anyone can extend the lineage of the Big Three—Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald,” wrote Stephen Holden of The New York Times after a 2013 performance in Jazz at Lincoln Center, “it is this 23- year-old virtuoso.” 

“A virtuoso composer,” according to DownBeat magazine, RENÉE ROSNES is one of the premier jazz pianists and composers of the young 21st Century. Upon moving from New York to Vancouver, she quickly established a reputation, touring and recording with such masters as Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, and Ron Carter. She was a charter member of the all-star SFJAZZ Collective, and she has been praised by Jazz Times for her “conceptual heft, suspenseful compositions and mesmerizing performances.”

Clarinetist, saxophonist and bandleader ANAT COHEN has been praised by DownBeat for her “dark tones and delicious lyricism… a picture of pure joy.” She was born in Israel and studied at the Jaffa Music Conservatory before going on to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is a frequent collaborator with the CubanAmerican clarinetist-saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera, who has called her “one of the greatest players ever of the clarinet.” Perhaps The New York Times put it best: “Yes, she is the real deal.”

Hailed by NPR as a “bold new talent with her own style,” saxophonist, composer and bandleader MELISSA ALDANA has been acclaimed for the rhythmic élan and spiritual intensity of her music. She was born in Chile to a musical family, moved to Boston in 2007 to study at Berklee, eventually becoming the first South American in the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Competition. This “young tenor with a breezy, accented voice,” raved ABC News, “is a hard-toned, unsentimental instrumentalist steeped in classical jazz.”

INGRID JENSEN is recognized as one of the most gifted trumpeters in the global jazz scene. She was born in Vancouver, studied at Berklee, and moved to Europe to become the youngest professor in the history of the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria. Settling in New York in the mid-1990s, she has collaborated with jazz legends across generations from Clark Terry to Esperanza Spalding, including a gig on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. “Ingrid plays with all the brilliance and fire of a true virtuoso, following the spirit of the muse as she creates,”
said the late doyenne of women in jazz, Marian McPartland, “warm, sensitive, exciting and totally honest.”

NORIKO UEDA is originally from Hyogo, Japan, where she began studying classical piano at the age of 4. By 16 she had moved to the bass, receiving a scholarship to study jazz composition at Berklee. For the last decade she has been a regular, often with her own Noriko Ueda Jazz Orchestra, at Carnegie Hall, the Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Birdland, as well as touring internationally. Her rousing big band arrangement of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” was featured in Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration and was broadcast on CBS.

Raised in Washington, DC, and based in New York City, ALLISON MILLER defies all jazz boundaries while bringing her individual percussion touch to diverse types of music. For her creative, fresh approach to percussion, she was chosen as a “Rising Star Drummer” in DownBeat’s 53rd Annual Critics’ Poll. Showtime network showcased her music in the series The L Word.

ARTEMIS: GREAT WOMEN IN JAZZ is presented by the Arsht Center with generous support from Baldwin Richardson Foods, Quint Family Foundation, Steinway & Sons, the official piano of the Adrienne Arsht Center, Sterling Vineyards and EAST Miami. WLRN 91.3 and JAZZIZ Magazine are media sponsors.
