Planet D Nonet
The Planet D Nonet plays Cliff Bell's in Detroit on Friday, October 9, at 7:30 p.m., with a program saluting Duke Ellington. If you love big band jazz, this is Ellington's music played live.
Planet D Nonet is celebrating its album Echoes of Harlem: A Salute to Duke Ellington Vol 2. Their previous record, Blues to Be There, reached #16 on the JazzWeek chart and spent twenty-three straight weeks atop the Roots Music Report jazz and big band charts.
The new volume includes tunes from the film Anatomy of a Murder, which the band performed on a tour of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where Ellington himself once played. Camille Price sings on "Rocks in my Bed," and Tbone Paxton takes on a spirited "Caravan."
There are two sets, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, seating for Dinner & a Show begins at 6 p.m., and seating for the second show starts at 9 p.m.
