Tenderness – Kip Hanrahan – – Other (Arrives in 14days)

Kip Hanrahan’s ‘Tenderness’ is a quietly radical statement—a jazz album that defies boundaries and delivers an intimate, allusive tapestry of sound. Hanrahan, renowned for dissolving the lines between genres, invites an ensemble of musical heavyweights—including Jack Bruce, Don Pullen, and Charles Neville—to create something truly original. The music pulses with the sensuality of Latin rhythms, the improvisational spirit of jazz, and the raw vulnerability of poetic confession. Every track breathes with human nuance, whether it’s the interplay of percussion and melody or the unexpected turns in vocal delivery. ‘Tenderness’ is not just an album but a dialogue—between cultures, between musicians, and between listener and artist. It’s ideal for those who appreciate jazz’s elastic boundaries and who crave music that rewards repeated listening. This is a record for evenings when you want your vinyl collection to speak to your soul, offering new textures and emotions each time the needle drops. For the discerning collector, ‘Tenderness’ stands as a testament to Hanrahan’s vision: music as intimate conversation, always searching, always alive.
