The jazz scene rolls on this weekend, post-DC Jazz Festival, only a smidgen weaker for the wear. Theaters and performing arts centers are taking a break from jazz programming, and some clubs are sitting out Friday night because of the Independence Day holiday, but as usual there’s loads of talent at play. The most crucial shows come from the ruminative saxophonist Brian Settles’ trio, performing on Friday and Saturday at Bohemian Caverns; the Afro-Lusophone vocalist Loide, on Saturday night at Blues Alley; and the saxophonist Bobby Muncy, playing at Twins Jazz on Sunday.
The D.C. Jazz Jam (on Friday at Bohemian Caverns and at Saturday at Dukem) is taking a break for the holiday weekend. Blues Alley and HR-57 are closed on Friday night, but that only serves to make Settles’ show a sure choice. As usual, all our favorite upcoming shows are shown in the calendar below.
