1. Stanley Clarke: The master bassist’s website lists five different groups in which he is touring for the rest of the year. In a rescheduled gig from 2020 at the Dakota, he’s bringing Stanley Clarke N 4ever, which plugs into his deep jazz fusion legacy that dates back to Return to Forever, the 1970s electrifying ensemble led by Chick Corea. Over the years, the five-time Grammy winner has played in various jazz combos as well as such rock-informed bands as the New Barbarians (with Ron Wood and Keith Richards) and Animal Logic (with Stewart Copeland). Equally distinguished on electric and upright bass, Clarke is a prolific composer for films (“Boyz N The Hood,” “Romeo Must Die”) and television (“Woke”) and an adventurous live performer in any situation.

If Tina Turner and Little Richard had a daughter who was raised by her uncles Chuck Berry and James Brown, she’d sound like Nikki Hill, a spirited rock ‘n’ soul contender.
