Tónskáldið og hljóðfæraleikarinn Skúli Sverrisson mætir til leiks í Mengi ásamt Davíði Þór Jónssyni og Ólöfu Arnalds og flytur ný verk sem hann samdi fyrir tónleika tríósins á Punkt Festival í Kristiansand í byrjun september, en tónleikarnir vöktu mikla lukku og birtist m.a. um þá lofsamlegur dómur í Jazzwise. Samstarf þremenninganna nær langt aftur, en Ólöf og Davíð komu meðal annars fram á hinum dáðu Seríu plötum Skúla. Gestir mega eiga von á ævintýralegu kvöldi þar sem fallegar tónsmíðar líða áfram í engri fyrirframákveðinni röð svo það myndast mikið pláss fyrir spuna.

This Friday evening Skúli will perform in Mengi with his long term collaborators Davíð Þór Jónsson and Ólöf Arnalds. They will be performing new works that Skúli wrote for the trio's concert at the Punkt Festival in Kristiansand Norway that got great reviews in the international music media, including Jazzwise. Guests can expect an adventurous evening where the trio drifts between Skúli's beautiful compositions in no particular order, leaving a lot of space for improvisation.
