Limbo + Dafnie Extended

Limbo is a band spreading across many genres – or perhaps soaring above them. On first impression, the band is classifiable within the jazz and improvised music scene: the instruments and the frequent use of jazz techniques support this classification. Limbo does, nevertheless, surpass those frameworks with elegance and enter spaces outside clear definitions. Their music is melodious, melancholy, and innovative, as if it lifted the time and space and presented new ways to look at the world to the audience. The band, which celebrated 20 years of existence in 2024, was nominated for the 2025 Anděl Music Awards in the jazz category.

Dafnie Quintet is based in Trondheim, Norway, and presents the music of saxophonist Amalie Dahl. The structured forms and melodies of the compositions are combined with spontaneous improvisation, enabling the ensemble to communicate and explore freely. This results in expressive music conveying a large scale of emotions and mindsets.

In 2025, Amalie Dahl presents Dafnie Extended. The enlarged version of the band, which was very dynamic on its own, brings the music to a new level: energy, unrestraint, range of sounds, and emotions are pushed to their boundaries. Amalie picked renowned European musicians, enriching the sound palette of the ensemble.
