the Planet D Nonet
The Planet D Nonet played two shows at Detroit's Cliff Bell’s on Sunday, November 19, at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., bringing swing hits from Fats Waller to Duke Ellington to life on stage.
Since 2007, the Planet D Nonet has been swinging through Southeast Michigan with a mix of classic tunes, earning nine Motor City Music Awards along the way. Cofounded by RJ Spangler and James O’Donnell, the band’s performances include memorable gigs across 10 states, including New Orleans. The set featured Harlem Jive and other swing-era favorites, highlighted by vocals from trumpeter James O’Donnell, trombonist John “Tbone” Paxton, and guest artist Camille Price. Doors opened at 4 p.m. for dinner with seating at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. for the two shows, all held at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit.
