Album Description

Many Moons features eleven cuts—original pieces alongside fresh takes on classics by Irving Berlin and Van Morrison. Tracked with fellow Chicago modernists, the album keeps the intimate, small-group spirit of Rutz's Blueprint projects, while stretching into wider grooves and a broader palette of styles. Many Moons is the album title for the meaning as a representation of a continuum of time and more personally is a measure of time with music in performance, recording and composition. Work with these aspects unfolds each month as time passes making this album into a documented time-stamp of creativity in the present. We invite you to unplug, unglue and unwind with the ninth album from Markus and first album from Third Coast Sounds and enjoy Many Moons.
