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)....
