Options abound tonight, but I’m going to steer you toward a tried-and-true summer jam that, from venue to performers, is a guaranteed good time for a warm night just off the Mad River. At 9 p.m., the Logger Bar will be hosting country-tinged strummers, pickers, singers and songwriters Turtle Goodwater and Jerome Stinsprig.

The Creative Sanctuary continues its Jazz is Peace series with an homage to one of my heroes and the father of some of the greatest music this country ever produced, from the Delta womb of all good American sounds, my spiritual home, New Orleans. I’m talking about Satchmo himself, Mr. Louis Armstrong, who would be 124 years young on Aug. 4, had he not passed away 54 years ago tomorrow (or in the interim between).

Lots of ways to celebrate tonight, but I’m going to suggest something far-out, as in geographically. Dig this: In Shelter Cove, about as south west as you can go in Humco without a boat, is a fun joint called Mario’s Marino Bar, where at 8 p.m.

The Creative Sanctuary presents another jazz show at the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 7 p.m., this one is a tribute to trumpeter and composer Kenny Dorham, a criminally underrated musician who died far too young and is perhaps most famous for his work with the early iteration of the Jazz Messengers. Co-producers James Zeller and Ramsey Isaacs — on trombone and drums respectively — will be joined by Danny Gaon, Mathew Seno and Tree.
