Fuzzy Logic Ensemble in the JMI

In the latest July-August issue of the JMI, Kevin Stevens has written a great article reviewing the Bray Jazz Festival:
" Think Global, Play Local "

Below is the review he gave of FuzzyLogicEnsemble's performance in the Royal Hotel:

"Fuzzy Logic's afternoon gig at the Royal, where the band was joined by British trumpeter Tom Arthurs, was a tight, engaging display of challenging pieces by leader and composer Dylan Rynhart. Rynhart prefers the term 'orchestral jazz' to describe the band's music, reflecting his investigation of a sound range outside the big-band tradition. Tunes like 'Reflected Reasoning' and 'Spin Cycle' are extended, segmented pieces that offer intriguing textures - a unison line of voice and guitar, say, against a march of horns and Hammond organ - that constantly surprise and yet are always organic to the structure of the piece. The band was powerful and well-rehearsed, with notable contributions from all, especially Arthurs and alto saxophonist Nick Roth. Guitarist Joe O'Callaghan, drafted late to replace Lee Tobin, played superbly."
