About the album

Spurred by the feelings of thankfulness and appreciation for mentors and the people who surround him, Chicago trumpeter and composer Marcus Rutz compiled a two-volume collection of original music and arrangements filled with intrigue, beauty and excitement. With tributes to his mother, "The Compass," bassist Richard Davis, "The Musicianer," or pianist Ellis Marsalis, "Syndrome," Rutz navigates diverse ensemble and stylistic directions with an array of superb musical partners, including saxophonist Brice Winston, NY bassist Marcos Varela & drummer Xavier Breaker, guitarist Matt Gold and pianist Adrian Ruiz, among others. The title, "Blueprints - Figure 1: Frameworks," provides the metaphor while the music reveals the heart of an artist venerating his influences.

Angespornt von den Gefühlen der Dankbarkeit und Wertschätzung für Mentoren und die Menschen, die ihn umgeben, hat der Trompeter und Komponist Marcus Rutz aus Chicago eine zweibändige Sammlung von Originalmusik und Arrangements zusammengestellt, die mit Intrigen, Schönheit und Spannung gefüllt sind. Mit Tribut an seine Mutter "The Compass", den Bassisten Richard Davis, "The Musicianer" oder den Pianisten Ellis Marsalis, "Syndrome" durchläuft er verschiedene Ensemble- und Stilrichtungen mit einer Reihe hervorragender musikalischer Partner, darunter (unter anderen) Saxophonist Brice Winston, NY-Bassist Marcos Varela & Schlagzeuger Xavier Breaker, Gitarrist Matt Gold und Pianist Adrian Ruiz. Der Titel "Blueprints - Figure 1: Frameworks" liefert die Metapher, während die Musik das Herz eines Künstlers offenbart, der seine Einflüsse respektiert.

For over three decades, the musical discoveries continue for Chicago-born jazz composer and trumpeter, Markus Rutz. As described by Downbeat’s J.D. Considine, with his “big, dark tone and a fluid ease to his phrasing,” trumpet player, composer and bandleader, Markus regularly delights audiences in venues throughout his hometown and across the United States. Capturing the same spirit as his dynamic live performances, 2019 marked the release of his third album, Blueprints – Figure One: Frameworks. With the majority of the album comprised of his own compositions, this new work ranges from duet to sextet, with pieces incorporating Cuban percussion, ballad, bop, West Coast Cool and swing.
