The Lunar Octet

From the first note of their new CD on Summit Records, "Convergence", you know that Michigan-based The Lunar Octet offers creative and original Latin jazz. The award-winning group plays highly original and eclectic music drawing on Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa, rock, African high-life music, and Brazilian sambas to forge a new sound enriched by these traditions. LA Jazz Scene called their music "the perfect melding of elements of Latin and jazz." JazzThing Magazine said their music is "the very best of arranging and instrumental art." Jazziz Magazine called them “sizzling”. Jazz Weekly called them “picante”.
