Three years after the release of Artemis' critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, the ensemble returns with a marvellous follow-up that highlights the improvisational strength of its members as well as their respective gifts as composers. 'In Real Time' showcases a new lineup of the collective with founding members pianist Renee Rosnes, drummer Allison Miller, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, and bassist Noriko Ueda joined by newcomers tenor saxophonist Nicole Grover and multi-reedist Alexa Tarantino. The 8-song set presents compelling new band member originals along with choice covers of pieces by Lyle Mays ('Slink') and Wayne Shorter ('Penelope').
