We continue our exploration of the recordings made at the wonderful Thawed Out Fest which occurred at the iO Theater in Chicago in late April of this year. Up next is a brilliant set by a quartet led by Nashville-based composer and bandleader Rich Ruth.
The music had elements of New Age, Space Jazz, psychedelia, and kosmiche, and the virtuosity on stage definitely warmed up the by-now quite chilly evening air.
