"..... take a jazz break with the adventurous sounds of the Lunar Octet. Over the course of five years and several personnel changes, this eight-piece ensemble boasts a brand of music (incorporating heavily rhythmic excursions into jazz and Latin styles) as ecclectic as the musicians, a tight-knit group of full-time musicians and local professionals who take their music seriously. Utilizing two percussionists with a drummer, rhythm is crucial to the band's sound. Formerly known as the Lunar Glee Club, the name may have changed, but the music is as good as ever."

"Lunar landing...the irrepressible jazz/latin sound of the Lunar Octet arrive at the Ark tonight. This extremely popular local jazz band used to be called the Lunar Glee Club. Now the glee's gone from their moniker and has resettled quite happily into their music. Expect anything from big band swing to moody ballads - along with some of the hottest percussion this side of the Amazon."
