Right this second, in Boston’s South End, the Berkeley Berklee Beantown Jazz Festival is in full swing. What are you still doing here on campus? Hurry over to the corner of Massachusetts and Columbus Avenues, where Ernie Andrews, Plas Johnson, and Melvin Sparks are playing on the Target Stage (681 Columbus Ave), and Eguie Castrillo and his orchestra are playing on the Dunkin Donuts Stage (594 Columbus Ave). They’re the last free outdoor shows of the day, so don’t miss out. We’ve even looked up the directions for you.

But if you really can’t make it in time, you can always head to the Scullers Jazz Club (400 Soldiers Field) tonight to hear Kurt Elling sing the music of Johnny Coltrane and John Hartman. Tickets are $28, and there are shows at 8 and 10 p.m.  Get the details here.
