Tómas R. Einarsson

Tómas R. Einarsson (1953), bassist and composer, has released more than twenty records with his own music; Latin jazz, straight-ahead jazz, Nordic ballads, Jazz & Poetry and collaborations with singers. His music has been arranged for big-band (Dansaðu fíflið þitt!) and choirs (Mannabörn) and remixed (Rommtommtechno). Einarsson was the only European represented in the best-selling Putumayo Presents Latin Jazz in 2007. His CD/DVD Strengur, for bass, percussion, water sounds and video, was selected as one of the best Latin records in 2011 by Descarga.com in New York, and several of his other Latin records (RommTommTomm, Bassanótt, Bongó, Latínball í Búðardal) were among the records of the year at Latin websites and radio stations in France, Mexico, Perú and Colombia. Einarsson has also released intime duo recordings, with guitarist Ómar Guðjónsson (Bræðralag) and pianist Eyþór Gunnarsson (Innst inni). His last record is Ávarp undan sænginni, with legendary Icelandic singer Ragnhildur Gísladóttir.
