Our 2024 Plink Plonk series continues with two fantastic soloists, with support from Norfolk’s own Bowl Band.

Signe Emmeluth is a Danish saxophone player and composer educated from the Jazzdepartment in Trondheim and is currently based in Oslo. With a sharp and unique tone her playing is easily recognized.

Melodies with rapidly changing octaves and a shift between the naive and playful to brutal primal screams are some of what makes up Signe Emmeluth’s vocabulary. Her solo performance is based around the idea of it being a laboratry where curiosity and stream of consciousness are essentiel.Emmeluth has lately become a rising voice of improvised music in the Nordic countries with her own quartet Emmeluth’s Amoeba. Latest she debuted her commission work for Trondheim Jazzorchestra at Molde Jazzfestival. She has also worked with people like Mats Gustafsson, Paal Nilssen-Love, Mette Rasmussen and is often a part of different versions of Trondheim Jazzorchestra.

“This is a particularly strong solo effort that has its heart & soul on its sleeve. The balance between the extremes here is just right and it is a soft landing” – Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery“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“Micro tonal poetry in the first part that turned into a fest of jazzy atonal phrasing in a flow that hasn’t been heard in a long time before at jazzclub Fasching. The opening set alone was nothing else then FANTASTIC! ” – Mats Gustafsson

“This young Danish alto saxophonist (based in Oslo) is an exceptional discovery.” – Matthieu Joaun, Citizenjazz

Oren Marshall is a pioneering player of acoustic tuba and electric tuba who, crossing between classical, jazz, improvised and world music, has collaborated with the likes of Derek Bailey, Charlie Haden, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Moondog, Radiohead, The Pan-African Orchestra and the London Philharmonic.

Support will come from Bowl Band, a temporary outfit formed during the Magic Acorns’ residency ‘The Nest’. The group improvise using a collection of stainless steel mixing bowls.
