Our Take

KIP HANRAHAN's latest release, "Crescent Moon (Uhqcd)," is a wild and eclectic journey through the depths of jazz fusion. This album is like taking a psychedelic trip through a smoky jazz club on a summer night – it's chaotic, messy, and utterly captivating.

Hanrahan's unique approach to music is on full display here, with each track taking unexpected turns and twists that keep the listener on their toes. From the Latin-infused rhythms of "Crescent Moon" to the haunting melodies of "Uhqcd," this album is a rollercoaster of sonic experimentation.

The musicianship on display is top-notch, with virtuosic performances from every member of the band. The complex arrangements and intricate solos are a testament to Hanrahan's skill as a bandleader and composer.

But what really sets "Crescent Moon (Uhqcd)" apart is its sense of playfulness. Hanrahan doesn't take himself too seriously, and it shows in the quirky lyrics and off-kilter instrumentation. This is an album that doesn't follow the rules, and that's what makes it so exciting.

In conclusion, "Crescent Moon (Uhqcd)" is a bold and daring exploration of the boundaries of jazz music. It's a frenetic, exciting, and utterly bonkers ride that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Highly recommended for those who like their music with a side of madness.
