Sunna Gunnlaug’s Trio has been at the forefront of Icelandic jazz abroad since their celebrated release of Long Pair Bond at the London Jazz Festival in 2011. The trio recorded their 6th album in early 2025 and the concert at the Jazz Festival will be the album’s release concert.

The music is best described by Jon Newey from Jazzwise, “Cool atmospherics and meditative quality draws on Icelandic folk melodies and brooding soundscapes, yet internally has an unhurried Bill Evans-like swing and an appetite to explore the inner soul.”
