Following his label debut \u003cem\u003eDown Home Style\u003c\/em\u003e, McDuff made one of the most creatively ambitious albums of his career with \u003cem\u003eMoon Rappin’\u003c\/em\u003e, which was released in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album featured 5 funky, spaced-out McDuff originals including hard-grooving numbers like “Flat Backin’” and “Loose Foot,” as well innovative tracks like “Moon Rappin’” and “Oblighetto,” which would later be permanently ingrained into hip hop history when it was sampled by A Tribe Called Quest as the foundation of 2 of their all-time classic tracks: “Scenario” and “Check the Rhime.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/jack-mcduff-moon-rappin-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series?srsltid=AfmBOopph7KWISDIPPN-bZpAgAtx88u94n2WrvapPWPgtZKHevfa7UI0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMoon Rappin' \u003c\/em\u003eis one of Brother Jack McDuff's most ambitious efforts, a loose concept album that finds the organist exploring funky and spacy soundscapes.
