Tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar

Icelandic Jazz Ensemble

Tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar was an Icelandic jazz trio led by pianist Guðmundur Ingólfsson. The group gained international recognition for their collaboration with the iconic Icelandic singer Björk on the album "Gling-Gló," which was released in 1990. The album features a mix of Icelandic pop songs, jazz standards, and original work, all performed with a distinctive charm that combines traditional Icelandic music with jazz influences. Although the trio's career is not widely documented, their work with Björk stands out as a significant contribution to both her discography and to the Icelandic music scene of the time. Guðmundur Ingólfsson himself was an accomplished musician and played a vital role in fostering the jazz community in Iceland.
