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

Peter White, Blues Alley, 8 & 11 p.m. Peter White is a smooth jazz guitarist. Two separate sets at 8 & 10 p.m. $40 cover, $10 minimum. View event on calendar | Blues Alley profile

Andréa Wood & Michael Kramer, Tasting Room, 8 p.m. | Singer Andréa Wood has started catching people’s ears since returning to D.C., her hometown, in 2009. The Duke Ellington School of the Arts graduate moves fearlessly up and down octaves, all the while maintaining a distinct sense of purpose. She can explore the upper register in a beguiling waft, or plunge into the basement with buoyant, swelling articulation. Wood and guitarist Michael Kramer play Brazilian and classic jazz standards every week as background fare at the Tasting Room, a wine bar in Friendship Heights. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Tasting Room website

Batuque, Gaffney’s, 8 p.m. | Batuque is a five-piece Brazilian jazz band. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Gaffney’s website

Heath Brothers, Bohemian Caverns, 8:30 & 10:30 p.m. (DCJF) | Between the three of them, brothers Percy, Jimmy, and Albert “Tootie” Heath have collectively had an undeniable impact on jazz music. Each one separately played a role in the founding and fashioning of hard bop in the 1950s, then in the ’70s they came together to record and perform as a band: the Heath Brothers. Separately, bassist Percy Heath (who passed away in 2005) was an in-demand musician during the bebop era, performing and recording with Miles Davis, Johnny Griffin and Dizzy Gillespie before joining the iconic Modern Jazz Quartet. Tenor saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath was also a popular hired gun and bandleader during the bebop era, performing often beside his brother in bands led by Gillespie and Davis. He was also a prolific composer, penning a number of tunes that have become jazz standards. Drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath made his recording debut with John Coltrane, on the saxophone legend’s first album as a leader. He was an in-demand hired gun, recording with many artists from Benny Golson’s Jazztet to Nina Simone. Jimmy and Tootie continue to tour, and they recorded a new album in 2009. $30 cover in advance, $35 at the door, no minimum.

Sin Miedo, Bossa Bistro, 9 p.m. | Sin Miedo is an energetic, nine-piece Salsa band that plays highly danceable Afro-Cuban jazz, Mambo and Samba. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Bossa Bistro website

Anthony Nelson, Twins Jazz, 9 & 11 p.m. (DCJF) | Multi-talented woodwind player Anthony Nelson, who typically plays saxophone, has a slick, soulful improvisational sensibility. In his last appearance at Twins, he performed with a strolling trio, and his brawny tenor tone filled the entire club. Two separate sets at 9 and 11 p.m. $20 cover, $10 minimum. View event on calendar | Twins Jazz profile

Antonio Parker Quartet, HR-57, 9 p.m. | Alto saxophonist Antonio Parker has long been a regular performer at HR-57, and when the club moved to H St. NE earlier this year, he played at opening night. Parker’s playing refers to John Coltrane’s tenor technique, but his aggressive tone and rhythmic inclinations are more contemporary, bringing neo-soul and R&B influences into his otherwise straight-ahead bebop. Parker’s style on the horn often nods toward another one of his personal favorites, the contemporary master Kenny Garrett. $15 cover, no minimum. View event on calendar | HR-57 website

Darius Jones Trio with OOO, Red Door, 9 p.m. (DCJF) | Part three of CapitalBop’s D.C. Jazz Loft Series at the DCJF presents the Darius Jones Trio with local group OOO. Jones is shaping up to be one of the most influential saxophonists of his generation. A fierce but measured improviser, his melodies are both hard to swallow and astonishingly easy to memorize. In 2009, he released a debut album, Man’ish Boy, to vast acclaim. The Darius Jones Trio is fervently and fearlessly avant-garde, but it’s also steeped in the jazz tradition: It swings, it sings and it toys around with sound in a way that might impress Charles Mingus or Ornette Coleman. $12 in advance, $16 at the door, BYOB. View event on calendar | Red Door website

Peter Edelman Trio, Columbia Station, 9 p.m. (DCJF) | The stalwart D.C. piano player Peter Edelman every week leads a rotating cast of musicians that often outgrows the title “trio.” No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Columbia Station 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

DeAndrey Howard’s Collector’s Edition, Utopia, 11 p.m. (DCJF) | Trumpeter DeAndre Howard’s weekly engagement at Utopia brings hordes to the restaurant and bar every Friday night. He and his small group, Collector’s Edition, play standards with a friendly, inviting touch, and they add to the positive vibes already flowing throughout the room — especially when Howard tosses aside the trumpet to sing a spontaneous blues. No cover, 1-drink minimum. View event on calendar | Utopia profile

Charles Woods Quartet, Johnny’s Half Shell, 6 p.m. (DCJF) | Saxophonist Charles Woods plays and has recorded in both free and straight-ahead jazz styles, but for his regular gig at Johnny’s Half Shell he keeps things within the traditional bop realm.

Bobby McFerrin, Warner Theatre, 7:30 p.m. (DCJF) | Some people might remember him for the a capella reggae hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but legendary vocalist Bobby McFerrin has long been at the vanguard of his craft, pushing the boundaries of the voice in music. He has created a number of techniques, and is a pioneer in overdubbed vocal soundscapes. His 1984 album “The Voice” was a landmark as the first solo vocal jazz album – actually without any overdubs, accompaniment, or signal processing. He is joined at this performance by Howard University’s similarly groundbreaking vocal group, Afro Blue. In the past few years, the ensemble has garnered wide attention through its appearances at the Library of Congress and the Kennedy Center, as well as the recent release of an acclaimed album of songs recorded over six years. The fact that this is a collegiate ensemble makes its prowess all the more impressive. For the DC Jazz Festival, the combined powers of Bobby McFerrin and Afro Blue become VOCAbuLarieS. Tickets $38-$82. [Preview by Luke Stewart] View event on calendar | Warner Theatre website

Jazz on the National Mall, 1 p.m. (DCJF) | The DC Jazz Fest’s most popular feature – which went dormant for last year’s festival – is back: a full day of free music on the National Mall featuring two of the world’s top jazz ambassadors, Eddie Palmieri and Roy Hargrove, plus three international artists whose stars are rising. Palmieri, who will helm his All-Star Salsa Orchestra, is one of the greatest living Latin jazz pianists – but even that description doesn’t do him any justice. Throughout his career, he has incorporated bebop and fusion influences with aplomb. Still, it’s his work as a leader of Afro-Caribbean bands, usually with his kinetic keyboard playing in the driver’s seat, that has made Palmieri a legend. Hargrove, a trumpeter who has grown from boy wonder to jazz statesman, will lead his hip-hop/jazz fusion band, the RH Factor. The other acts include the strong Chilean vocalist Claudia Acuña, the French jazz harmonica player Frédéric Yonnet and Nigerian singer and guitarist Toby Foyeh. Free.
