\n<\/p>\n“It was at the Reykjav\u00edk Jazz Festival in 2009 that Dav\u00ed\u00f0 \u00de\u00f3r J\u00f3nsson and Ey\u00fe\u00f3r Gunnarsson revealed their collaboration – their duality – which until then had mostly taken place behind closed doors.
It was planned that several Icelandic pianists would perform short solo programs in the Nordic House. Everyone welcomed the idea when they were approached. Dav\u00ed\u00f0 \u00de\u00f3r called shortly after this was confirmed and announced that he and Eyth\u00f3r were going to play a duet. The jazz program director was not convinced and pointed out that there was only one grand piano in the Nordic House. “Don’t worry about it”, was the reply.
Thus began what has been compared to “an impressionistic journey of mischievous angels” (V. Linnet MBL) and “an uncertain journey on water skis in the back of an uncontrolled speedboat” (E.G. R\u00daV).
