Thursday, Nov. 20– Friday, Nov. 21 HORN RESOUNDING Imagine Babe Ruth pinch hitting for Lou Gehrig or Mick Jagger subbing in for John Lennon. That’s pretty much what’s happening at the SandBox. One jazz great, singer and pianist Tammy L. Hall, is paying tribute to another—the one and only Shirley Horn. In other words, the profound and hypnotic Hall reflecting on the aching tempo of Horn, who played with the likes of Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis—you know, the best—in a performance titled Here’s to Shirley! Jason Lewis (drums, Nov. 20), Leon Joyce Jr. (drums, Nov. 21) and Kevin Goldberg (contrabass) join Hall in this tribute, one star to another. [DF] 7pm Thursday-Friday, Nov. 20-21.

Or a cherry-coated vase of dying tulips and a real boa snake passing by, with its elegant skin patterns, itself looking as if freshly painted over by a masterful hand. This clash of still life, actual life and everyday reality is characteristic to works by Johanna Keefe. Keefe has a new exhibit on display at the Marjorie Evans Gallery. Its title, Paradiso Perduto, is the Italian title of Milton’s Paradise Lost. An opening reception for the show takes place at 5-7pm Friday, Nov. 21. The gallery is located at the Sunset Center (San Carlos and 9th) in Carmel; regular hours are 10am-4pm Monday through Friday. The exhibit will be up until Jan. 5.
