Flyin' the Koop is the second solo album by New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore.
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.
[2] Moore's concept for the album "was to have two saxes, bass and drums, and to improvise over loops..." building the tracks upon rhythm.
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.
