Sunna Gunnlaugs Trio (ISL)
Sunna Gunnlaug - piano
Scott McLemore - drums
Thorgrimur Jonsson: double bass
Equally influenced by such American pianists as Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, and Scandinavians like Bobo Stenson and Jon Balke, Sunna Gunnlaugs has found a way to make music to which people on both sides of the Atlantic can relate. Her own charming brand of romantic lyricism soaring over a driving American rhythm section appeals to jazzers and non-jazzers alike.
The 7 CDs she has released as a leader have consistently met with critical praise over the years, and she has appeared in publications such as JazzTimes, Downbeat, Jazziz, Jazz Podium, Concerto, Stereo, Jazzman, Village Voice, Time Out New York, Swing Journal, Jazzwise, All About Jazz and The Washington Post.
Gunnlaugs has certainly bridged the Brooklyn-Reykjavik jazz divide with European elegance and a fiery, New York drive
