The Project:

Detroit's nine-piece swing outfit, the Planet D Nonet, is an incredibly busy down and dirty little band playing swing, blues, space-age jazz and classic American songs served up with plenty of good humor. It was founded in 2007 by RJ Spangler & James O’Donnell, both original members of the well-known Detroit band The Sun Messengers. At the Detroit Music Awards, PD9 took home a Best Jazz CD honor in 2011 and a Best Traditional Jazz Band award in 2013. We have been invited to play at the Concert of Colors, where we will present the PD9 Township Jazz Project, a special performance of South African Jazz including the music of Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela, the Brotherhood of Breath, Winston “Mankunku” Ngozi and others.  This event will take place at the Scarab Club, located behind the DIA in Midtown.

Dig what your contribution will do:

  • The PD9 might be the only band in the western hemisphere actually performing this music so you are helping to make this happen.
  • In 2011 we raised funds via Kickstarter successfully for our tour to New Orleans & Charleston.  We ask for help very rarely.  
  • This is important to us and we need your support.
