Marc Ciprut - Moonshine - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Moonshine, from Marc Ciprut and it's a cool, jazz rocker. Opening with title track, Moonshine, guitar wiz, Marc Ciprut lays out the melody over a funky, James Brown like rhythm with Ettienne Lytle on organ, Jimmy Haslip on bass, Tobias Ralph on drums and Daniel Sadownick on percussion. Super opener. Cutie has a easy Latin feel and Ciprut lead is very stylistically clean. Lytle  on Wurlitzer really adds nice thickness and James Genus on bass holds down the bottom with Tommi Rautiainen on drums. Ciprut's approach is a bit more aggressive on No More Room with an almost Beck like attack and Jon Cowherd rocks a real nice solo on Wurlitzer, Genus on bass and Tobias Ralph on drums make this my favorite track on the release. Wrapping the release is Funk You with it's super rhythm. Ciprut lays down a funky rhythm line and overlays the melody. Lytle on organ and clavinet adds significant depth and Genus on bass and Ralph on drums joined by Sadownick on percussion make this an excellent closer for a very enjoyable release.
