Guitar Virtuoso
Tim Watson, a Brooklyn-based guitarist, producer, and composer, will bring his trio to the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs next Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. What the venue calls his “idiosyncratic approach to the instrument” has taken him from the Village Vanguard and Lincoln Center to collaborative performances with Carnatic musicians in Chennai, India, and Ignacio Berroa’s trio in Miami.
As a sideman he is a member of groups led by Emmanuel Michael, Nazir Ebo, Brian Richburg Jr., Cisco Swank, Luke Titus, and Lex Korten, as well as leading his own trio.
Schnabel’s Latest
The Sag Harbor Cinema will launch a month of screenings with special guests next Thursday at 6 p.m., when the artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel will introduce “In the Hand of Dante,” which premiered in September at the Venice International Film Festival.
Adapted from Nick Tosches’s novel of the same name, the film stars Oscar Isaac, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Franco Nero, Gal Gadot, Martin Scorsese, and Jason Momoa. It weaves together across centuries the lives of Dante Alighieri and a Tosches-like contemporary writer, both played by Isaac.
Schnabel will take questions after the screening.
Balkan Brass
Presented with Hamptons JazzFest, the Parrish Art Museum’s summer jazz series in Water Mill will feature something different — Slavic Soul Party! — Friday evening at 7 on the museum’s terrace.
The nine-member ensemble blends Balkan brass, funk, Roma-inspired accordion, and jazz into a sound that Rolling Stone has called “terrifying, exhausting, and way more aggressive than a lot of punk music.” Over the past 15 years, the group has toured the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Turkey, and Zimbabwe.
Tickets are $30, $25 for members and resident benefits passholders, $20 for students, and $10 for children. No museum seating will be provided, and coolers and outside food are prohibited.
‘The Lion Queen’
Up next in HamptonsFilm’s SummerDocs series is “The Lion Queen,” Alden Nusser and Ben Fries’s film about Jocelyne Wildenstein, on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Guild Hall. Wildenstein’s 1999 divorce from Alec Wildenstein, a billionaire art dealer, turned her into a tabloid obsession due to her extravagant lifestyle, plastic surgery, and subsequent bankruptcy filing.
The screening will be followed by a conversation among Caroline Baron, the producer, Alec Baldwin, HamptonsFilm’s co-chairman, and David Nugent, its chief creative officer. A few $40 tickets remain.
Musical Double Play
Sag Harbor’s Masonic Temple will have two concerts this weekend, starting Friday at 7:30 p.m. with Anita Guarino. Accompanied on piano by Bill Cento, Guarino can be expected to perform reinterpretations of pop classics, jazz standards, and tunes from the Great American Songbook. Tickets are $20, and doors will open at 7.
In partnership with Hamptons JazzFest, the temple will host the Wayne Escoffery Quartet on Saturday evening at 7. Escoffery, a Grammy Award-winning tenor saxophonist, is known for his original compositions and roots in the hard bop and post-bop traditions. Tickets are $25; doors open at 6:30.
A Comic Weekend
Sticks and Stones Comedy has two shows this weekend at the Southampton Cultural Center. Marla Schultz, a standup comedian, actress, and media personality, will perform Friday at 8 p.m. Schultz has toured with Chelsea Handler and entertained U.S. troops overseas.
