JC Hopkins Biggish Band at Minton's Playhouse, Dec. 31
Tickets: $100-250. Show at 6PM.

The JC Hopkins Biggish Band is, well, kinda big – 10 players whose music echoes the sounds of old New York, especially the Harlem jazz club known as Minton’s Playhouse, which closed in 1974. But Minton’s reopened in 2006, and the Hopkins and his band of retro-renegades have had a residency there on Saturday nights. They can summon the ghosts of Frank Sinatra or Thelonius Monk, but Hopkins is also a composer, and some of his songs sound like they’re from that same era. 

The Grammy-nominated JC Hopkins Biggish Band plays Sat., Dec. 28, and again on New Year’s Eve, at Minton’s Playhouse.
