SUMMARY:DAVE BENNETT
DESCRIPTION:Dave Bennett doesn’t fit the mold. \nFor starters\, you don’t find many jazz clarinet players who name Alice Cooper\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, and Chris Isaak among their influences. You won’t find many musicians who are equally conversant with the music of Benny Goodman (the “King of Swing”) and Roy Orbison (“The Soul of Rock and Roll”). In fact\, you may not find even one other clarinet virtuoso who breaks from his Swing Era repertoire to sing rockabilly hits while accompanying himself at the piano or electric guitar. \nDave began his national touring career at the age of 14. He has been a featured soloist at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops (2013) and has been featured with 35 other US and Canadian orchestras including Nashville\, Houston\, Detroit\, Rochester\, Omaha\, Toronto\, Calgary\, Vancouver\, Orlando\, San Antonio\, Jacksonville\, Portland\, OR and Portland\, ME.  Some of his annual appearances include The Elkhart Jazz Festival\, The Suncoast Classic Jazz Festival\, The Arizona Classic Jazz Festival\, The Sacramento Hot Jazz Jubilee\, The Clambake Music Festival\, and The Redwood Coast Music Festival. \nIn March 2022\, Dave and his band performed to a sold-out audience at New York City’s Birdland Theater. \nDave is a recording artist on jazz label Mack Avenue Records.  His second release\, Blood Moon reached No. 24 on the Billboard Jazz charts in 2018. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lunar Octet
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating their 40th anniversary of playing original Latin jazz\, Ann Arbor’s award-winning Lunar Octet will celebrate their homecoming to the Dirty Dog by playing music from their new CD on Summit Records called “Convergence”.    \nThe record was the #1 New Release in Latin Jazz on Amazon and was named among the best jazz CDs in the Annual Jazz Critics Poll.  Downbeat Magazine said\, “Convergence bursts with joy and authority.” \nFrom the first note of the record\, you know that the Lunar Octet plays creative and original Latin jazz.    The band’s original compositions involve rich arrangements and what Jazz Life Magazine called “colorful and tight grooves\, gorgeous three-horn arrangements\, and strong solos”. The band’s music is exciting\, dynamic\, and powerful\, including fiery Latin grooves\, driving funk rhythms\, swinging bop tunes\, and romantic ballads.
