Release concert for the album Skák & Mát by Matthías Helgi Sigurðarson

Skák & Mát is Matthías Helgi’s debut album. This is a jazz guitar trio album that features a variety of jazz music such as latin, swing and waltz. Matthías started writing the album at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and recorded it last summer. The goal was to achieve the energy that comes with a live performance and therefore the album was recorded live. There is a lot of improvisation and dialogue between the instrumentalists.

Matthías is originally a classically trained guitarist. Later he began to study the electric guitar and graduated from the Iceland Academy of the Arts from its jazz program in 2024.

Matthías is interested in mixing classical guitar and jazz music together and this gives the album a unique sound.
