Album Notes

"Lunar Saint" is based around a short story about a parish priests who has the unusual hobby of creating mechanical birds that disturb the townsfolk, forcing the priest and his flock to re-establish their parish on the moon (story is included with CD). The literary and music themes evoke humanitarian-spiritual qualities.

"Joel Fairstein delivers a jazz-fusion album with a new twist: a concept based around the Legend of the Lunar Saint.
Exceptionally played...top-notch...crystal-clear production."
