The influential Brooklyn hip-hop vet isn’t the first rapper to perform at the Minneapolis supper club famous for jazz, but he’s probably the biggest. He first made his mark with Yasiin Bey (then Mos Def) as the duo Black Star and their landmark 2002 debut album, which they finally followed up last year. In the interim, Kweli amassed an impressive and innovative eight-LP solo discography, which he’ll spotlight here with a funky and — yes! — jazzy live band. (STAR TRIBUNE)
