A music unlike anything that has preceded it on the Irish Jazz scene, Fuzzy Logic Ensemble coungers beautiful imagery and surprises at every turn. Formed in 2002 as the brainchild of Composer Dr Dylan Rynhart, Fuzzy Logic has grown and adapted to a changing music and a changing world. Promising young musicians, who were just starting their careers almost 2 decades ago, have since become leaders and role models on their instruments both in Ireland and across Europe, forming the backbone of this exceptional group. The compositions are rich and intricate, juxtaposing the familiar with the obsessive. Rynhart’s long study of speech, inspires the rolling melodies, but equally the music is expressive, personal and at times political.

"Inspired execution and inventive soloing" - Kevin Stevens (The Journal of Music)
