After critically acclaimed performances around the Detroit area (especially at the 1992 Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival), the Lunar Octet blended jazz, funk and Latin rhythms on its debut, Highway Fun. The group consists of Brandon Cooper (trumpet, flugelhorn), Stephen Hiltner (alto and tenor sax), Sam Clar (guitar), Mark Kieswetter (keyboards), David Stearns (bass), Jon Crosnic (drums), Aron Kaufman (congas, percussion) and Dave Mason (timbales, percussion). ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
