TKA special project group Artemis, featuring Cécile McLorin Salvant, Renee Rosnes, Anat Cohen, Melissa Aldana, Ingrid Jensen, Noriko Ueda and Allison Miller, deliver an unforgettable performance at Newport Jazz Festival 2018.
Natalie Weiner for Billboard – Artemis, “If It’s Magic” (1976) The seven-piece, all-woman super-group performed songs from the Beatles to Wayne Shorter—but it was their duo take on the Stevie Wonder classic, which itself has jazz ties thanks to original harpist Dorothy Ashby, that proved irresistible. Cecile McLorin Salvant, accompanied by Renee Rosnes, performed the song simply and beautifully, creating a perfect pairing with the inimitable Fort Adams park vista.
