Run Logan Run: The Open Fund for Music Creators
Bristol based Run Logan Run are a head on collision of pounding tribal drums and screaming guttural saxophone. Architects of intense contrast the duo’s diverse and precise instrumentation regularly flirts with fragility and raw power.
Formed through a shared passion for improvisation, spiritual jazz and heavier experimental music, they are Andrew Neil Hayes (saxophones / electronics) and Matt Brown (drum kit / percussion), and have been authoring their own narrative in the new wave of crossover jazz, whilst touring the UK extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Colin Stetson, Melt Yourself Down, Shabaka Hutchings, and The Bad Plus. In 2019 they received the Montreux Jazz Talent Award for their performance at the festival, and in 2020 they were invited back to Switzerland as fellows of the Montreux Jazz Academy.
“Trance-like, the mesmerising patterns build and warp, fomenting a series of emotional responses – this is deeply feeling music.” – Dave Foxall (Jazz Journal)
With support from The PRS Foundation Open Fund, the duo plan to work alongside producer Riaan Vosloo (Nostalgia 77) to record their next album, which will featured string and brass section arrangements, and guest vocalists.
