Days and Nights of Blue Luck Inverted is a studio album by Kip Hanrahan, released in June 1988 and featuring guests including Carmen Lundy, Leo Nocentelli, and Steve Swallow.

[2] The album was among the first released by record label Pangea, founded by English musician Sting.

[4] Like its predecessor Vertical's Currency, Days and Nights of Blue Luck Inverted was considered another step in the direction of an avant-garde reimagining of jazz, using elements of world music as its starting point to explore new and interesting directions for jazz.

"[6] Lee Jeske, writing in Cashbox, described the album's mood as "simmering sensuality - thick and exotic".

[7] Phillip Watson ranked the album among the best released in 1988, writing that "With its 'optional side endings' and enigmatic titles, like its equivocations, its irreverence - it succeeds because it has rules all of its own.
