The Lunar Octet Plays Latin jazz at the San Pablo Library

Michigan-based Latin jazz group The Lunar Octet’s latest CD, “Convergence” (Summit Records) has gotten airplay on more than 325 radio stations world-wide and has gotten rave reviews from the worldwide jazz press, 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 and even echoes of tango."
JAZZthing Magazine

They have been praised for their live performances as well:
“The “sultans of salsa”, the Lunars feature three fine horns up front and three percussionists. Add the laser beam guitar work of Sam Clark, and it simmers just right.”
The Michigan Daily
“Lunar Octet definitely eclipses with its exhilarating big sound.”
Jazz and Blues Report
“Tight arrangements in which the percussionist is as studied a mathematician (and as big a ham) as the horn players, and impeccable musical quotes from the classics vying for space with the musical imaginations coming up with their own memorable phrases. They’re great live.”
