Sunna Gunnlaugs Trio , ICELAND

Icelandic pianist Sunna Gunnlaugs, marks her move home with her new

album "Long Pair Bond" after spending over a decade in Brooklyn

playing mostly in quartets with saxophonists like Tony Malaby, Loren

Stillman or Ohad Talmor. Here her disposition is clearly more

Scandinavian. With the trio format comes more space and there is an

overall serenity to the album which, like her homeland, is disturbed

from time to time by unbridled energy bubbling up under the surface.

Concerto in Austria gave them 5 stars, JazzPodium in Germany sais the

album "outstanding" and AllAboutJazz wrote "Gunnlaugs has always been

about musical depth that doesn't sacrifice inherent accessibility."

 

Line up:
