Moon Rappin is an album by American organist Brother Jack McDuff recorded in 1969 and released on the Blue Note label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 stars and stated "Moon Rappin is one of Brother Jack McDuff's most ambitious efforts, a loose concept album that finds the organist exploring funky and spacy soundscapes... It's not strictly funky -- it doesn't have the grit of early Brother Jack records, nor does it swing hard -- but it proves that McDuff was as adept in adventurous territory as he was with the groove".
