Planet D Nonet
On Saturday, February 4, the Planet D Nonet played hits from Duke Ellington’s later period (1956–1963) at Detroit’s Cliff Bell’s, with shows at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Tickets were $25.
The Planet D Nonet focused on a challenging and creative phase of Duke Ellington’s career in their show, spotlighting lesser-known works from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Led by percussionist RJ Spangler and trumpeter James O’Donnell, the band digs deep into jazz and blues classics, blending swing and hard bop influences. The concert was held in two sets at Cliff Bell’s, with doors opening at 5 p.m. for dinner before the first show.
