Dunton met D’earth in 2001 at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. She’d been playing piano for 15 years but had no sense of turning her love of music into a career. Still, the Spanish major found her way into D’earth’s improvisation class. That’s when everything changed. He was the first person to show her what a life built around music looked like. He told her she could build one of her own—moreover, he saw that she needed to. John D’earth was like a planet that reoriented the gravitational pull of her life to center around music.
Fifteen years after meeting him, the idea came to her while sitting in L.A. traffic. It was an imperative: “I have to make a record with John.” She spent the next year planning and writing. In the summer of 2017, D’earth came to L.A., and they recorded for two days at Sphere Studios.
The result is a collection of new compositions based less on a specific sound than on an idea, an exploration of John D’earth as man and musician. “John is very much interested in the meaning of music, the emotion or story behind it, so this felt like the right approach,” Dunton says. She used facets of D’earth’s personality and playing style as inspiration to guide the listener on a journey, from fun and adventurous to moody and minimalist. Apropos of the concept, D’earth also contributed three songs.
For those familiar with Dunton’s ongoing band, trioKAIT, Planet D’earth is a sojourn from the signature style she’s created. “A large focus for trioKAIT is having a tight sound as a band,” Dunton explains. “This project is more exploratory, more contemplative. My focus was on storytelling and compositional style.”
That style, a study in counterpoint and balance, gave Dunton an opportunity to assemble a group of interconnected musicians for something more meaningful than just a studio date. Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Bob Mintzer joins D’earth on a recording for the first time, but the two have been friends since the 1970s, when they performed together for a summer in the Catskills. Dane Alderson, on electric bass, not only plays with Mintzer in the jazz-fusion band Yellowjackets, he lives in Charlottesville, where he and D’earth often share the stage. Drummer Jake Reed (also the rhythmic identity of trioKAIT) is married to Dunton, and they both know Mintzer from their music studies at the University of Southern California, where Mintzer teaches.
For Dunton, all these threads add up to another thematic element. Throughout her career, she’s sought to grow and evolve, to clarify her musical voice. This album is a chance to pause and reflect—in a way, to move at once backward and forward. It’s an acknowledgement of who she was and who she’s become. On Planet D’earth, Dunton spins at the core, the source of gravity pulling together people who affected her transformation.
