Ingi Bjarni Trio
Folk-rooted, intuitive piano-trio jazz from Iceland — with space for both lyrical and free improvisation.
Biography
The Ingi Bjarni Trio is the Icelandic pianist and composer’s longest-running band, with Bárður Reinert Poulsen on double bass and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen on drums. Their 2024 album Fragile Magic drew international praise, and its piece Visan won Jazz Composition of the Year at the 2025 Icelandic Music Awards. The music is sensitive, unhurried and quietly daring.
