Markus Rutz & Third Coast Sounds play music from Many Moons, the ninth recording by Markus that has a mosaic soundscape of styles, feels and grooves that ebb and flow with originals and known standards and tunes from Irving Berlin and Van Morrison. Time and moon vibes have evidently been a part of consciousness for Markus during the past few years bubbling up in thoughts and feelings.

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.
