A new release in 2024 by the Reykjavik Big Band - An Icelander at Uluwatu Temple

On November 31st, 2024, the album An Icelander at Uluwatu Temple came out, which contains the works of Stefán S. Stefánsson for the big band, performed by the Icelandic Reykjavik Big Band. This album is number two in the “Icelander” trilogy, and number one was “An Icelander at Alhambra Palace,” which won the Icelandic Music Award 2015. An icelander at uluwatu temple

 

The album's title has its roots in Stefan’s travels to Indonesia, where you can find the wonderful Uluwatu temple on the edge of a cliff on the beautiful coast of the Indian Ocean.

 

Most of the works are new, but there are also some older works that Stefán rewrote for this edition. The excellent performance of members of the Reykjavik Big Band and the high-quality recordings of Hafþór Karlsson gave this the life it needed, and here is the result. For those interested, you can find the album here in a link and on all the main streaming sites of the World Wide Web.
