Jumok茅 Fashola marks International Women's Day with live music from ARTEMIS, an all-star band featuring pianist Renee Rosnes, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, clarinettist Anat Cohen, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Noriko Ueda, drummer Allison Miller and vocalist C茅cile McLorin Salvant. Recorded live in Toronto they play some brand-new music, including an imaginative arrangement of a Wayne Shorter favourite.

Also in the programme, South Korean, New York-based bandleader and composer Jihye Lee shares her inspirations. Lee moved to the US to study at Boston鈥檚 Berklee College of Music, and later to New York to study under the tutelage of the great Jim McNealy. She is now a highly regarded big-band composer, recognised for her innovative and risk-taking style. Lee treats her compositions like documents of her life, encouraging listeners to enter her creative world. This is reflected in the tracks she has chosen to share, which explore music鈥檚 ability to tell stories.
