Ingi Bjarni Trio: Fundur

Pianist and composer Ingi Bjarni Skulason leads an intuitive trio with Barour Reinert Poulson/b and Magnus Trygvason Eliassen/dr through some contemplative originals. At times, the team sounds like a Scandinavian take of The Bad Plus,as the title track has a gentle lope and modern quirkiness, and Eliassen’s drums kinetically snap on “S306.”The leader has a Monkish angularity on”Hlaupa Burtu” while displaying an Old World delicate touch for “Trump Waltz” and s soft refledtion for “Snudur.” Poulsen lurks in unison with piano on a rich “Sakna Nordurljosa” and Eliassen’s cymbals coax along the dreamy “POF.” Contemplative conversations.
