Emmeluth's Amoeba
Emmeluth’s Amoeba is a great Danish/Norwegian quartet. The music is playful and riveting. It moves elastically between composition and improvisation. At times it is fragile, at other times it is cathartic energy explosions. After many years of touring the quartet has developed an almost telepathic interplay and has as the name indicates become one - one cell, one organism, one amoeba.
The music is daring, and yet incredibly inclusive and the joy of playing with each other is contagious. This music dares to start debate and dialogue, which is one of arts most important rolles in society.
The group has existed since 2018 and played at festivals like Saalfelden Jazz Festival, Artacts and Oslo Jazz. Emmeluth’s Amoeba is now ready with their 4th album.

“This young Danish alto saxophonist (based in Oslo) is an exceptional discovery.” - Matthieu Joaun, Citizenjazz
"Emmeluth’s Amoeba plays with fast and almost telepathic interplay but leaves enough space for individual
solos.” Free Jazz Collective, Eyal Hareuveni
“It confirms that the quartet, in an immensely crowded scene, has defined its own corner in no time. It is difficult to find better proof of class."
- Enola, (BE) Guy Peters
“We are listening to jazz of today” - Arild R. Andersen, Jazz i Norge
