The concert will take place at Atrium Žižkov.

“This young Danish alto saxophonist (based in Oslo) is an exceptional discovery.”

• Matthieu Joaun, Citizenjazz

„This working quartet reaches new heights and deeper depths by experimenting, searching and taking risks… Signe Emmeluth proves herself, again, as one of the most original and fresh voices in the Nordic scene. Provocative, mind blowing and emotionally engaging.“

• Salt Peanuts*, Eval Hareuveni

Emmeluth's Amoeba is a great Danish/Norwegian quartet consisting of four of the most exciting musicians on the Scandinavian scene right now. The group has toured extensively for the past 3 years, including live concerts at Saalfelden Jazz Festival, Artacts and Oslo Jazz to name a few. With creative music that moves through characters of free jazz to chamber music like shapes with fierce energy it is hard to be left untouched.

Pianist Christian Balvig has made a mark both as a musician leading his own group and playing with the colossal danish supergroup Efterklang as well as composing music for large orchestras such as Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra.

Guitarist Karl Bjorå is a strong voice on the scene of improvised music and has recorded and toured extensively with his own groups Megalodon Collective, Yes Deer and Aperture for years all around Europe, USA and Asia.

Drummer Ole Mofjell is a force of nature. Playing with ECM recording legends Jon Balke and Norwegian Powerhouse guitarist Hedvig Mollestad.

Last but not least, leader and main composer for Emmeluth's Amoeba, Signe Emmeluth has made a strong imprint on the scene during the last 5 years, playing with Kresten Osgood as well as being a part of Trondheim Jazzorkester, and has latest joined Gard Nilssen's Supersonic Orchestra.
