The Paxton/Spangler Band featuring Doug Brown
The Paxton/Spangler Band played on Saturday, June 1, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe Farms. Doug Brown was on keys and vocals, accompanied by RJ Spangler and Tbone Paxton on drums and trombone. Their set echoed Detroit’s old days and New Orleans vibes.
Tbone Paxton, the trombonist and vocalist, reunited with percussionist RJ Spangler and pianist/vocalist Doug Brown, who had just released his first jazz album with notable musicians. Their reunion reflected the Detroit east side music scene of the ’80s and ’90s. Supporting them was guitarist Matt LoRusso, bassist Trevor Lamb, and drummer Sean Perlmutter. The band played a mix of songs by artists like Fats Waller, Leonard Cohen, and Louis Jordan, drawing on their extensive experience backing New Orleans greats like Johnny Adams and Earl King.
