The HooDoo Loungers will bring the music of New Orleans to the Parrish Art Museum tomorrow.

Jazz at Duck Creek     
Adam O’Farrill’s Stranger Days, a quartet featuring the acclaimed trumpeter along with Xavier Del Castillo on tenor saxophone, Walter Stinson on bass, and Victor Pablo on drums, will perform a free concert at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs on Saturday at 5 p.m.     

Mr. O’Farrill won the Rising Star Trumpet award from Downbeat magazine in 2019, and his recordings with Stranger Days are regularly featured on top 10 jazz lists. Paste magazine called the quartet “a solid, swinging post-bop group that blends funk and hip-hop influences into the mix” even as they evoke such diverse sources as Cannonball Adderley and Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

HooDoo Loungers     
Music on the Terrace at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will feature the HooDoo Loungers, both in person and streamed, Friday at 6 p.m. The self-described New Orleans party band takes inspiration from the Gri Gri of Dr. John to the rock ‘n’ roll of Fats Domino, blended with some classic soul and New Orleans swing.     

In-person tickets are $12, free for members; the livestream is free to all. Pre-registration on the museum’s website is required, and guests have been advised to take their own seating.

Opera and Broadway     
Opera and Broadway of the Hamptons will present “Cristina Fontanelli and Her Fabulous Friends,” a concert by a vocalist whose range encompasses opera, Broadway, and Italian classics, on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Basilica of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, 168 Hill Street in Southampton.     

A regular at Michael Feinstein’s 54 Below, Ms. Fontanelli has performed with Tony Bennett, hosted a PBS special for Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble, and appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Boston Pops, and the Kennedy Center, among many others.     

Advance tickets from purplepass.com are $46 to $55; $58 at the door.
