First ever worldwide reissue of this rare jazz funk fusion album, privately released in 1978 - includes an insert with interview and exclusive photos. Hailing from Knoxville, Tennesee, Joel Fairstein has earned critical praise as Jazz pianist, composer, producer, and studio musician. His first album, "Umbra", an LP recorded at age 24 with eighteen sidemen has since become a sought-after collector item. Pls note - as catalog nr, label is using the barcode number only because cover shows the same cat.no as another release on the label..
