Sara Magnusdottir

Icelandic jazz Hammond organist and composer, Sara Magnusdottir creates music filled with rich melodies, deep grooves, and soulful touch. After studying organ in New York City and living there for several years, she brings a unique voice to the Icelandic jazz scene, blending tradition with her own melodic style. Sara now steps forward as a bandleader with her debut album, A Place to Bloom, which she will be celebrating with this special release concert at Reykjavik Jazz Festival.

The album explores themes of wanderlust and finding home in many places.

She is joined by a stellar group of musicians :

Jóel Pálsson on tenor saxophone,
Andrés Thor Gunnlaugsson on guitar,
Einar Scheving on drums,
Tumi Torfason on trumpet.
