8:30pm Jazz

On her Grammy-nominated CD “Ballads--Remembering John Coltrane,” singer Karrin Allyson reprises Coltrane’s early 1960s recordings of such standards as “Say It (Over and Over Again),” “You Don’t Know What Love Is,” “Too Young to Go Steady” and “All or Nothing at All.” Critics say the singer manages to both honor the legend’s lyrical influence and make the songs her own.

Karrin Allyson, Catalina Bar & Grill, 1640 N. Cahuenga Blvd., L.A., 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. today through Sunday, $16 to $20. (323) 466-2210.

8:30pm Dance

A collaboration between cellist Walter Haman of Fresno and dancer/choreographer Jose Navas of Venezuela, “The Haman/Navas Project” involves the audience in an experience that the New York Times called “a tribute to the power of music and movement.” Compositions by Allan Hovhaness and Benjamin Britten accompany an hourlong chamber piece in which a dancer interacts with cello--and cellist--making the intersection of sight and sound intimately personal.

The Haman/Navas Project, Cotsen Auditorium, Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., West L.A. 8:30 p.m. Also Friday, 8:30 p.m. $15 (students) to $25. (323) 655-8587.
