''Flyin' the Koop'' is the second solo album by New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore. The album includes funk, rock and jazz. Moore's line-up for ''Flyin' the Koop'' is in part a combination of musicians with whom he played at a "SuperJam" at Tipitina's during Jazz Fest 2000.〔(Stanton Moore New Orleans' Sexiest Drummer? Galactic's Skinman Keeps It Up ) Christopher Blagg, ''offBEAT.com'', Mar 1, 2002, Retrieved June 22, 2007〕 Moore's concept for the album "was to have two saxes, bass and drums, and to improvise over loops..." building the tracks upon rhythm. Melodies then developed through improvisation and composition by the saxophonists.〔 Also, some tracks were written before the session. "Amy's Lament" was a Moore instrumental that he envisioned as a contemporary twist on a New Orleans dirge; it is named after Moore's first wife. "Magnolia Triangle" is a classic New Orleans composition in 5/4 meter from famed New Orleans drummer and composer James Black. "Let's Go" and "Hunch" are both contributions from the writing team of Charlie Dennard and Brian Seeger who were half of Moore's working band at the time, "Moore and More". The track "For the Record" is a composition by Seeger written specifically for this session.〔Brian Seeger (Lead Sheets ), ''brianseeger.com'', Retrieved June 23, 2009 〕 On ''Flyin' the Koop'' Moore played vintage Gretsch drums with an 18-inch bass drum. Wood plays upright and Hoffner bass. Many fans speculated at first that the name of the solo album implied that Moore could be leaving his band Galactic. Moore explained that the metaphor which regarded "freeing yourself from the limitations" of music styles was combined with the location of the recording studio being on a former chicken farm in Cotati, California.〔 == Musicians == * Stanton Moore - drums * Karl Denson - saxophone, flute (Lenny Kravitz, The Greyboy Allstars) * Skerik - saxophone (Les Claypool, Critters Buggin) * Chris Wood - bass (Medeski, Martin and Wood) * Brian Seeger - guitar (New Orleans guitarist) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flyin' the Koop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
