 John Singer Sargent Watercolors
Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park
718-638-5000, brooklynmuseum.org

“The exhibition brings together 93 of his watercolors and 9 oil paintings from the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Both institutions acquired significant quantities of his work early on, the Brooklyn Museum from Sargent’s career debut show in New York in 1909 and the Boston museum from a solo show there in 1912.

The beauty of Sargent’s watercolors is in how seemingly effortlessly yet exactly he captured outdoor light and complicated man-made and natural forms. In landscapes, close studies of fruit and flowers and portraits of women you see at once the supremely deft action of the brush and the illusions of a sun-drenched halcyon world that it conjures. Prepare for bedazzlement. (KEN JOHNSON) NYT”

Joyce Theater
2 and 8 p.m, $10 to $69

‘The company celebrates its 30th anniversary with “Play and Play: An Evening of Movement and Music,” two programs that highlight the interplay between dancers and musicians, accompanied live by the Orion String Quartet. Program A features some of Mr. Jones’s classics, including “D-Man in the Waters” and the exhilarating “Continuous Replay.” Program B offers two new dances closely tied to their scores: “Ravel: Landscape or Portrait?” and “Story,” set to Franz Schubert. — SIOBHAN BURKE, NYT”

475-8592,  bluenote.net;

“Conceived as a 55th-anniversary celebration for the Monterey Jazz Festival, this all-star package has been barnstorming the country almost without pause since early January — an impressive fact made all the more so by the stature of the personnel, who could have found other things to do. Along with the bassist Christian McBride, serving as musical director, the group features the singer Dee Dee Bridgewater, the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, the saxophonist Chris Potter, the pianist Benny Green and the drummer Lewis Nash.

Enrico Pieranunzi Trio

At 9 and 11 p.m., $25 cover, with a $10 minimum.
(212) 255-4037, villagevanguard.com

“Enrico Pieranunzi is one of the leading jazz pianists in Italy, a careful rhapsodist with a more than casual appreciation of the Bill Evans style. His partners for this engagement are the bassist Marc Johnson and the drummer Joe LaBarbera, former members of Evans’s acclaimed last trio, which recorded memorably in this room.  (Chinen) NYT”
