Oddrún Lilja Jónsdóttir, a half-Icelandic and half-Norwegian jazz guitarist, lives and works in Oslo.
The writer first learned about her by chance in 2020, after finding an article about her in Norway’s leading jazz magazine. The article also featured her on its cover. The two later spoke by video call and have remained in contact.
Jónsdóttir has performed at the Reykjavík Jazz Festival, including this year at Austurbæjarbíó with her band. The piece focuses on her latest album, Muna.
