Bio
.. .. TYFT WILL BE TOURING IN EUROPE JANUARY 2010. FOR BOOKING CONTACT RALPH GLUCH. NEW CD "SMELL THE DIFFERENCE" OUT ON SKIRL RECORDS WITH CHRIS SPEED & PETER EVANS AS GUESTS. I first picked up the guitar at the age of six but started studying formally at age eleven. I graduated from the FIH school of music in Iceland in 1987. I then went to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music and graduated from there in 1991. While in Boston I took private lessons with Mick Goodrick, Jerry Bergonzy and Hal Crook to name a few. After teaching and performing in Iceland for two years I went to New York in 1993 where I played with various musicians as well as taking private lessons with Joe Lovano. Since returning to Iceland in 1994 I have performed and recorded in a wide variety of settings and appeared on over 40 records including 7 as a leader or co-leader. Kjár is an ongoing collaboration of mine and bassist Skuli Sverrisson. TYFT is my trio with Jim Black on drums and Andrew D'Angelo on reeds. Our first CD was released by Songlines in 2003 and the second one "Meg Nem Sa" in 2006 on Skirl Records.
