A Danish/Norwegian quartet stacked with some of the freshest, most creative players on the Scandinavian jazz scene, Emmeluth’s Amoeba is “provocative, mind blowing, and emotionally engaging” (Salt Peanuts).

Pianist Christian Balvig has made a mark leading his own ensemble, playing with the colossal Danish supergroup Efterklang, and composing for large orchestras like the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra. Guitarist Karl Bjorå has recorded and toured extensively with groups like Megalodon Collective, Yes Deer, and his own band. Drummer Ole Mofjell is a force of nature who’s played with ECM recording legend Jon Balke and Norwegian powerhouse guitarist Hedvig Mollestad. And last but not least, the exceptional Oslo-based Danish alto saxophonist, bandleader, and composer Signe Emmeluth has made a strong imprint on Nordic jazz in recent years through her work with Kresten Osgood, Trondheim Jazzorkester, and Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra.

When we hear the ever-searching Emmeluth’s Amoeba moving fluidly from free jazz to chamber music, “we are listening to the jazz of today” – Jazz i Norge
