Lunar Octet
Ann Arbor’s Lunar Octet celebrated their 40th anniversary on Thursday, February 8, at 6 p.m. at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe Farms with music from their new album “Convergence.”
Lunar Octet marked four decades of original Latin jazz with a homecoming show at Detroit’s Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe. Their new album “Convergence” topped Amazon’s Latin Jazz charts and was listed among the best jazz albums in the Annual Jazz Critics Poll, praised by Downbeat Magazine for its joyful and authoritative sound.
Mixing jazz with Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa, rock, African high-life, and Brazilian samba, their original tunes feature rich arrangements and powerful solos. The band’s dynamic sound includes fiery Latin grooves, driving funk rhythms, swinging bop tunes, and romantic ballads, offering a vibrant and eclectic musical experience.
