Fuzzy Math has been a fixture on the Twin Cities scene for well over a decade now.  The group is led by Mark Vandermyde, a classically-trained pianist and organist who began migrating from Mozart to Miles in middle school, studied composition at Harvard University, and banged around with blues bands for a while after college until rediscovering his love of jazz, and writing, and writing jazz.  Since then he’s managed to surround himself with some of the finest players in town (Andrew Schwandt on tenor sax, Matt Peterson on bass and Haralds Bondaris on drums) to help him bring to life his vision of creating music that’s interesting, accessible and fun…serious music that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and offers something for everyone.  They recently released their 5^th CD unveiling a new iteration of their uniquely eclectic blend of original songs and creative pop/rock/folk covers for which the StarTribune once named them to its Best of Minnesota list for “best jazz act for people bored with jazz”.  Racket (successor to the City Pages arts beat) called them “fluid as hell…generously melodic…alternately tender and brawny…nuanced…this is jazz that never gets too far out but never dawdles too close to home – a genuine sweet spot.”
