The Planet D Nonet
The Planet D Nonet played at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Saturday, November 18, at 7:30 p.m. They brought swing classics by Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, and Louis Jordan, winning nine Motor City Music Awards along the way.
Co-founded by RJ Spangler and James O’Donnell in 2007, the Planet D Nonet has been a staple of the Southeast Michigan swing scene. The band features vocalist and trumpeter James O’Donnell and trombonist-singer John “Tbone” Paxton, with frequent guest Camille Price. Their set includes Harlem jive, swing era tunes, and jumpin’ jive, all delivered in the intimate setting of Cliff Bell’s. The event offered two shows and tickets were $25.
