Here’s the rundown from a news release from WPPAC:

Emmet Cohen Quartet, featuring George Coleman and Jimmy Cobb, performs on Saturday, Sept., 14, at 8 p.m. Recognized as a prodigy who began playing at age 3, multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer Cohen has emerged as one of his generation’s most pivotal figures in music. Downbeat observed that his “nimble touch, measured stride and warm harmonic vocabulary indicate he’s above any convoluted technical showmanship. Instead, the dalliances with rapid-fire notes and recurring chord bundles seem a product of youthful enthusiasm and in-progress maturation.” Tickets start at $29.

Sinatra: The 1962 “World Tour,” starring Frankie Sands, with comedian Chris Monty, takes place Sunday, Sept. 22, at 4 p.m. Recent inductee into the World Famous Friars Club, Sands, is one of the top Frank Sinatra Tribute Artists in the country and will re-create Sinatra's 1962 World Tour using a six-piece band, consisting of the same six instruments in the original band and the original arrangements. Tickets are $40 & $35

Lucie Arnaz performs “I Got the Job!: Songs from My Musical Past” on Friday, Sept. 27, 8 p.m. Daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Arnaz relives her musical theater past, which includes the Broadway productions of “ They’re Playing Our Song,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “Pippin.” Tickets start at $37.
