Hot List: Baked Potato’s 40th anniversary at John Anson Ford Amphitheatre

Where else in L.A. but this vibrant little club just off the 101 could you see musical side projects by Tool’s Danny Carey and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith alongside performances by jazz and fusion heavyweights Steve Lukather, Lee Ritenour and Larry Carlton? Nowhere, and that’s what makes the Baked Potato’s 40th Anniversary a date worth celebrating. Featuring two days of music by the all of the above and more, the sounds of jazz, rock and beyond will be explored with a reliably virtuosic flair. The John Anson Ford Amphitheater, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, L.A., 2-11 p.m. Sat.-Sun. $116-$262. https://www.thebakedpotato.com
