Cassandra Wilson comes to town tonight (Nov. 14), wrapped in yet another musical veil. Her new disc, "Glamoured" (Blue Note), has the singer dressed in earthy, folksy, jazz trappings - acoustic guitars, harmonicas (a washboard and banjo on the Muddy Waters track, "Honey Bee") - and no piano. Wilson headlines a show with pianist Jason Moran and his group the Bandwagon at the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall (8 p.m., Broad and Spruce streets, $26-$68, 215-763-8100). Stacey Kent's publicity folder is full of reviews and praise (well, what else would you expect?) from the New York Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Herald Examiner, Town & Country, Variety, the Daily Mail and several jazz magazines. The point? The singer has a style that, though often categorized as jazz, translates into more of a cabaret/pop feel. She's at the Grand Stair Hall in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (5 p.m., 26th Street and Benjamin Franklin Parkway, $10, 215-763-8100). Havana Sax, which has performed in Zanzibar Blue's Wilmington location, makes its way north to Zanzibar's Philly spot (8 and 10 tonight and tomorrow, Broad and Walnut streets, $15, 215-732-4500). A mixed-media exhibit on the life of John Coltrane opens tomorrow at the Slought Foundation gallery in West Philadelphia. The exhibit includes archival photographs from the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the John Cotton Dana Library at Rutgers University. It will also have artwork by Michael Anderson, Doug Benson, Uri Dotan, Michael Gitlin, Barry Goldberg, Quentin Morris, Stephen Pusey and Osvaldo Romberg. There will be live performances that benefit the John W. Coltrane Cultural Society in Strawberry Mansion, run by Coltrane's cousin, Mary "Cousin Mary" Alexander. The organization will also contribute "previously unseen visual works" by Coltrane. The exhibit is scheduled to run for two months (Slought Foundation, 4017 Walnut St., 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, free, except for concerts, 215-222-9050, slought.org). If you feel an odd patriotic/international/Afro-centric vibe rip through your body Sunday, blame Rufus Harley. The jazz bagpipe player flies to France this weekend for two concerts. After he deplanes in Paris on Sunday, Harley - who always finds ways to merge disparate cultures - plans to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower with his bagpipes. While there, Harley will play the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," the unofficial America national anthem, "God Bless America," and an anthem from the civil rights era, "We Shall Overcome." a - b - c - d - e - f - g - h - i - j - k - l - m - n - o - p - q - r - s - t - u - v - w - x - y - z a - b - c - d - e - f - g - h - i - j - k - l - m - n - o - p - q - r - s - t - u - v - w - x - y - z  Site Studio Philadelphia Forums Community Directory Businesses                  Featured Link:
