Planet D Nonet & Honk, Wail, and Moan - Sun(s) of Ra

Planet D Nonet 
Honk, Wail and Moan
On February 4, 2012, a Sun Ra Celebration happened at the Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center of Worthington (Ohio). This wonderful celestial- music event was channelled by Sun Ra through Detroit's Planet D Nonet - R. J. Spangler and James O'Donnell, co-leaders and Columbus's Honk, Wail, and Moan. The music of Sun Ra and others was performed with joyful precise abandon. The evening ended with both bands performing together.
   The McConnell Arts Center's auditorium is a delightful intimate space in which to enjoy music. We hope that the energy demonstrated by the Center continues. With a greater emphasis on marketing, it could be an oasis for creative music - creative chamber music sent to us by Sun(s) of Ra, by Sun(s) of Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven, by Sun(s) of Schoenberg.
