Brad Walker Quintet (Friday, December 5)
With an insider's understanding of ambient music and a sweet rendition of Bon Iver's "Towers" in his repertoire, saxophonist Brad Walker is a fine example of New Orleans' jazz scene in 2014. Walker and his quintet of Brian Seeger, Oscar Rossignoli, Nathan Lambertson and Paul Thibodeaux should light up the Flight Gallery with their shimmering sound, providing the afterparty for Calen Barnum's "Beloved Taboos" photography exhibit. $5-$10 (suggested donation), 10:30pm, Flight Gallery, 134 Blue Star —Matt Stieb
