Michael Ruff / Acoustic Trios

Michael Ruff continues to deliver us his excellent musical effort since 1984. Now in 2010, Michael Ruff gathered stellar musicians and his extremely gifted daughter Olivia, who has shared lead vocals with Michael, to record this well-crafted contemporary jazz feel album entitled “Acoustic Trios”, a mixture of old and new songs and has a definitely different approach when compared to Michael’s prior works.
