Yngvil Vatn Guttu - Plan B

Norwegian - born musician and composer Yngvil Vatn Guttu is a spirited, multi-talented stage performer and band leader. Yngvil plays the trumpet, acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards and willow flute - a Norwegian overtone instrument - and occasionally breaks into song... New York Times: 'engaging, versatile... (her music) soars with joy and plumbs the depths of loneliness, at times funny, at times suspenseful, trenchant and buoyant and packs plenty of mischief " PLAN B (2011) followed Yngvil's debut album AKUTAQ (2010) in a slightly mellower tone. The tunes on PLAN B were mostly recorded during the same sessions as AKUTAQ. Realizing she had enough tunes for two albums gave the artist an opportunity to pick compositions that went well together for either project. Add the new album ON THE CROSSWALK (2014) and you get a 3-pack of nu-jazz that sounds like nothing you've ever heard before !
