RJ Spangler Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Eastlawn Records Presents Two EP Companion Set debut recordings by the Planet D Nonet "Blowin' Away the Blues" & "Ballads, Blues & Beyond" Double EP release party at Cliff Bell's Jazz Club Saturday, January 30 @ 9:30 pm. $5 cover 2030 Park Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226 Detroit's down & dirty little nine man swing ensemble, the Planet D Nonet, will be celebrating the release of their debut EP's. This on the heels of their first ever recording, a 7" record that came out last Autumn, which received considerable airplay in NY, CT, ILL & MI. The Planet D Nonet is co-led by veteran Detroit musicians RJ Spangler & James O'Donnell and features some wonderful younger Detroit area players, along with various guest vocalists. The Two EP Companion Set of recordings includes "Blowin' Away the Blues," a collection of six songs on the bluesy side of things. This set features guests like vocalists Alberta Adams, Charles "Buddy" Smith & Mario Rodriguez, as well as sax player Keith Kaminski. "Ballads, Blues & Beyond" is another collection of six songs but this time the emphasis is one classic swing & ballads by the likes of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn and beyond, like the intergalactic Sun Ra. Many people say that the Planet D Nonet & Cliff Bell's beautiful jazz night club are a natural fit. Please come & see for yourself on January 30. http://eastlawnrecords.com/ http://www.myspace.com/planetdnonet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
