"Fine musicians seem to be among Iceland's most visible exports these days, and pianist Sunna Gunnlaugs is proof that jazz is as much a part of the picture as the pop of Björk or Sigur Ros." —Time Out New York
"Her articulate touch alone should endear her to fans of Evans and Jarrett, as should the intimate and seemingly intuitive rapport sustained by her quartet throughout 'Mindful.' ...elegantly bridges soul-searching passages with uncluttered swing." —Washington Post
Proclaimed an “impressive newcomer” by the VillageVoice, Icelandic pianist Sunna Gunnlaugs’ bridges the Brooklyn Reykjavik jazz divide by combining the elegance of the European approach with a fiery New York drive, as the Washington Post described it, “such timeless virtues as lyricism and grace… elegantly bridges soulsearching passages with uncluttered swing.” Her music appeals to jazzers and non-jazzers alike. Her quartet allows full expressive range. Fresh and bright, hear why Time Out NY says Sunna “is proof that jazz is as much a part of the picture as the pop of Björk or SigurRos.

Hi Sunna, actually I'm also collaborating with a friend of mine that runs a club in Bergamo, Italy, close to Milan. He's a painter and he will have an exhibition in your faraway Iceland next October. Maybe when he comes back to Italy you can follow him and have a gig here... Ciao. www.enricoblumer.eu
