The Washington City Paper‘s Michael J. West already characterized this weekend’s jazz offerings as “an embarrassment of riches,” and it’s hard to get any more accurate than that. We’re talking three neighborhood festivals, the Thelonious Monk Competition semifinals, one of the most progressive bands of our time (the Jason Moran Trio), and a CapitalBop-presented D.C. Jazz Loft that is overstuffed with four tremendously talented acts. And we only stopped there because we ran out of breath. There are over 20 items on the CapitalBop shows calendar for Saturday alone. You can find details on all of them in this week’s edition of “Weekend in Jazz,” our listing of every D.C. jazz show on our radar. Our favorites have a label, and as always, you can read CapitalBop’s full listings directly at our D.C. jazz calendar, if you’d rather. Happy hunting!

Tribute to Horace Silver, Westminster Presbyterian Church, 6 p.m. | What began as an experiment over a decade ago continues today as one of Washington’s greatest weekly traditions: Westminster Presbyterian Church’s “Jazz Night.” Every Friday night, the house of God becomes a hub for fish frying, communing and jamming on straight-ahead jazz. This week, the program is dedicated to tributizing Horace Silver, the great jazz pianist who drew on the rhythms of his father’s native Cape Verde and the Black American musical lineage to help pioneer hard-bop in the 1950s. Pianist Wade Beach, on the bill here, is a highly capable and soulful interpolator of Silver’s legacy. He’s joined by Queen Aisha on vocals, Bob Montgomery on saxophone, Michael Thomas on trumpet, Ephraim Wolfolk on bass and Steve Walker on drums. $5 cover for adults, no cover for attendees under 16, no minimum. View event on calendar | Westminster Presbyterian Church website

Smith’s, the upscale soul-food restaurant in Union Station’s massive East Hall. The Jolleys, who perform with a bassist, comprise one of D.C.’s most exciting and auspicious acts. With roots in gospel, soul and the modal bop of the 1960s, the brothers (who also compose prolifically) bring some of the most creative elements in the African-American music canon forward into the 21st century, all while stamping it with their own distinctive flavoring. But B. Smith’s is a restaurant first, and the music remains in the background – no matter how expertly played. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | B. Smith’s website

Jean Carne, Blues Alley, 8 & 10 p.m. | R&B singer Jean Carne here pays tribute to the legendary composition duo Gamble & Huff.

The Cookers, Bohemian Caverns, 8:30 & 10:30 p.m. | This septet is mostly comprised of what you might call musicians’ musicians. Pianist George Cables, tenor saxman Billy Harper, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, bassist Cecil McBee and D.C.’s own drum doyen Billy Hart – they’re all veterans of the late hard-bop scene and its aftermath, and each one is considered a legend by many musicians. But somehow, public prominence has escaped them. Regardless, the Cookers is a group that synthesizes the tenacious swing of Art Blakey; the slippery, harmonically-tiered songwriting of Wayne Shorter; and the soulful sizzle of Freddie Hubbard. The group is rounded out by trumpeter David Weiss and saxophonist Craig Handy, both a generation younger than their counterparts. The Cookers’ weekend run is this month’s diamond in the rough. Two separate sets at 8:30 & 10:30 p.m. $35 cover, no minimum. View event on calendar | Bohemian Caverns profile

View event on calendar | Twins Jazz profile

Donvonte McCoy, 18th St. Lounge, 10:30 p.m. | Arguably the city’s best jazz trumpeter, Donvonte McCoy plays every Friday and Saturday at the hip 18th St. Lounge. He likes to mix in some funk as well during the lounge gig, and he’s liable to inflect a touch of Chuck Brown-esque groove into his combo’s treatment of classic bop tunes by the likes of Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard. After all, the setting is that of a dance club, not a jazz joint – no tables and chairs or hushed applause after every solo. Donvonte’s joined every Friday by the talented, Billie Holiday-indebted singer Integriti Reeves. Cover varies ($5-10), no minimum. View event on calendar | 18th St. Lounge profile

Akua Allrich & the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra, Petworth Jazz Project, 6:30 p.m. | The rain seemed dedicated to foiling vocalist Akua Allrich’s plans to perform as part of the Petworth Jazz Project. Her scheduled show on Aug. 13 was cancelled due to weather – then rescheduled for a day that ended up coinciding perfectly with Hurricane Irene. But give Allrich credit for her dedication: She’s now joined the bill at what was to be a solo show by the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra. It’s the last of five (now four) monthly performances that took place this spring and summer as part of the new Petworth Jazz Project, a series of free outdoor shows in the heart of Petworth. In Allrich’s neo-soul-meets-jazz, you’ll hear India Arie, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Miriam Makeba. But the Howard University graduate is an original, and she composes many of her own tunes. The Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra, meanwhile, will follow her performance. It’s a 17-piece big band that holds a weekly residency at Bohemian, the famed U St. club, and its repertoire ranges from classic Count Basie to modern Maria Schneider tunes. The show occurs at the Petworth Playground, and blankets are provided. Free. View event on calendar | Petworth Jazz Project website

It’s led by bassist Stan Hamrick, and its rotating lineup often features some of D.C.’s best musicians. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Extra Virgin’s website

Howard U. Alumni Jazz Band, Twins Jazz, 10 a.m. | In an anomaly for this U St. jazz institution, Twins Jazz is hosting a jazz brunch. The show features a combo calling itself the Howard U. Alumni Jazz Band, though only some of its members fit the designation. Saxophonist Brian Settles, who did graduate from Howard, is an avant-gardist with a singular quaver — but he sure knows how to swing, too. (Check out his channeling of Sonny Rollins on “Til There Was You,” a favorite standard.) Pianist Noble Jolley and his brother Nate, a drummer, have an affinity for hip-hop infusions, and bassist Eric Wheeler is a bricklayer with loads of personality. $10 cover, $10 minimum. View event on calendar | Twins Jazz profile

Plans for a jazz stage in Kalorama Park (at Columbia Road and Kalorama Street) are reportedly in place, but no official schedule of performances has been released. Free. View event on calendar | Adams Morgan Day Festival website

Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition Semifinals, Museum of Natural History, 1 p.m. | If Washington is stuck playing host to 535 ineffective national lawmakers for most of the year, then it sure deserves to be in the presence of 12 world-class music makers for two days per annum. That’s exactly what happens every September, when the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition rolls into town. It’s the foremost jazz contest on the planet, and its instrumental focus shifts every year; this year, the contest is among pianists. The judges include Herbie Hancock, Ellis Marsalis, Jason Moran and Danilo Perez, but today the focus is on the 12 semifinalists who will square off. By the end of the afternoon, three finalists will have been chosen; the following day, they will compete for first prize in a ticketed event at the Kennedy Center. But this event is free and open to the public. View event on calendar | Museum of Natural History website

D.C. Jazz Loft, Red Door, 7 p.m. | The impending demise of Red Door, that bastion of honest music and analog communality in a fast-forwarded world, has got us all a little melancholy. But there’s only one way to stave off the sadness of a great loss: Make the most of what you’ve got before it disappears. That’s why CapitalBop has put together what we consider a killer lineup for what will be one of the last D.C. Jazz Lofts at its original venue. This installation of our (mostly) monthly series of shows will include Baltimorean and bass clarinet monster Todd Marcus, the hip-hop-avant-bop troupe Cricket Fusion; and saxophonic soul bearer Brent Birckhead. What a triumvirate of performances. And to end the night, D.C.’s beloved tenor sax innovator Brian Settles will lead a jam session – both a musical exploration and a spiritual meditation on the events of 10 years prior to this date, and the world in which they transpired. $10 suggested donation, BYOB.

Jason Moran Trio, Bohemian Caverns, 7 & 9 p.m. | In the leading litmus for institutional acclaim, the DownBeat critics’ poll, Jason Moran won this year’s triple crown. He was voted jazz artist of the year, pianist of the year, and – for the album he released last summer with his trio – jazz album of the year. But don’t just believe the critics. Instead, turn your ear to his restless pianism, at once jarring and beatific, and let it win you over. His contempt for symmetry is a debt he owes to Thelonious Monk, but the busted-up flow of his narratives recalls old-school hip-hop à la Afrika Bambaataa. (Moran has adapted songs by both of them.) But in jazz, it takes a village, or at least a small combo, and the two kindred spirits in his trio are contributory coequals. Drummer Nasheet Waits’ playing is a history lesson in itself, but he’s also a major member of the jazz avant-garde. And, as Moran himself told DownBeat, bassist Tarus Mateen (a D.C. resident, and a major figure on the scene here) “is the major protagonist who pushes the music” of the group. Two separate sets at 7 & 9 p.m. $20 cover, no minimum. View event on calendar | Bohemian Caverns profile
