The Lunar Octet
After 40 years of performing original Latin jazz, Michigan-based nine-piece award-winning The Lunar Octet released a new CD: “Convergence” (Summit Records). The record has gotten airplay on more than 325 radio stations world-wide and has gotten rave reviews, including: "14 sizzling tracks" (Jazziz Magazine); "Convergence bursts with joy and authority. The group sounds fresh, and the compositions spur the impulse to dance and encourage intellectual engagement at the same time" (Downbeat Magazine); "Great stuff. The very best of arranging and instrumental art. Not just adrenaline-soaked music but also many fine nuances" (JAZZthing Magazine).
The group’s hundreds of performances include the Montreux-Detroit Jazz Festival, the Michigan Jazz Festival, the Scarborough Jazz Festival, the Columbus Jazz & Rib Fest, the Flint Jazz Festival, the Thunder Bay Jazz Festival, the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival, the Lancaster Festival, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, the Portola Vineyards Jazz Concert Series, The Ark, Rusty’s Jazz Café, the Blue Llama Jazz Club, the Dirty Dog Jazz Club, Shain Park, Cadillac Pavilion for the Arts, The Ohio State University, the University of Michigan, Dennison University, and more.
