This is not an actual album, but two songs from a concert at Vonarsalur in Reykjavik in preparation for Sunna's next album. Vitjun is a new composition that has been performed a couple of times before, whereas The Dream is an older tune that was being played a lot by Sunna's quartet (Loren Stillman, Eivind Opsvik and Scott McLemore) before moving to Iceland.
Sunna finally got a chance to record the quartet in June 2009 in NY while on tour in the US. The resulting album will be released in early 2010.

"Fine musicians seem to be among Iceland's most visible exports these days, and pianist Sunna Gunnlaugs is proof that jazz is as much a part of the picture as the pop of Björk or Sigur Ros."
