Anna Gréta is one of the most interesting young discoveries of Nordic Jazz. Sophisticated piano craftsmanship meets a haunting voice and multifaceted songwriting. She combines elements from jazz, pop and folk and thus creates a Nordic sound that her native Iceland gave her from childhood.
On her critically acclaimed debut album Nightjar in a northern Sky, on the prestigious German label ACT, Anna Gréta Sigurdardóttir creates a unique mix of intimacy and elegance. The title is a metaphor for the Scandinavian expanse, tranquility and the close connection between people and nature.
