Time and moon vibes have evidently been a part of my consciousness during the past few years bubbling up in thoughts and feelings and even surfacing in titles on an EP album from 2024 named Penumbra with the tune “One Month’s Time” found on the record.

Many Moons is a continued acknowledgment of this frame of mind in tunes titles referencing the moon, time, and periods of time such as the originals “By and By”, “Before We Met”, “Penumbra” and including “Time to Spare”, the composition from Brice Winston.

Trumpeter Markus Rutz brings a bluesy, soulful style to his music, with a tone that has been described as “gorgeous.” A dedicated performer, composer, and educator based in Chicago, Markus has made significant strides in his mid-career, earning both local and national recognition for his work.
