Markus Rutz: Storybook

Trumpeter Markus Rutz teams up with Sharel Cassity/sax, Adrian Ruiz/p, Kurt Schweitz-Samuel Peters/b, Kyle Swan/dr and Kyle Asche/g for a mi x of standards and originals to create an homage to musical inspirations. He’s inspired by the teaming of Joe Hnderson and Kenny Dorham back in the Blue Note Days, with a hip shuffle of “Buffalo” and grooved modal take of “Short Story” as a tribute. A gorgeous read of “Soul  Eyes” includes Asche’s rich guitar, with the horns are pretty and graceful on “The Eeryday Escapaades of Man” and agonizing on “Somethings Blowing Up”. There are a few effects of instruments and beyond, serving as segues into the next chapter, making for intriguing reading. When’s the movie coming out?
