LET'S ORDER IN: AN EVENING WITH MICHELE BROURMAN

Award-winning singer-songwriter Michele Brourman makes a night out feel like home as she invites you into her living room with LET'S ORDER IN. The show travels from London's The Pheasantry to New York's Pangea this week, and with the help of guest pianist and vocalist Billy Stritch, Brourman presents the familiar alongside the fresh, singing from her latest album, THE PRICE OF LOVE, the soundtrack to a universally-human experience. Sept. 15 at 7 PM. (Pangea, 178 2nd Avenue, www.pangeanyc.com)

ELLA SANG THE BLUES WITH BRIANNA THOMAS

Vocalist Brianna Thomas makes blue feel new with a reimagining of Ella Fitzgerald's THESE ARE THE BLUES, the only all-blues album Fitzgerald released. After an early version premiered at 2017's Generations in Jazz Festival, Thomas has quickly become an audience favorite, and, like Ella herself, swoops effortlessly from bubbly to seductive to soulful, and always powerful. Sept. 14 at 7 PM and Sept. 15 at 7 PM and 9:30 PM. (The Appel Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center, 10 Columbus Circle, www.jazz.org)

JEFF MACAULEY: WHERE DID THE GENTLEMAN GO?
Historically rich and passionately told, MAC-nominated vocalist Jeff Macauley's shows feel like the product of a golden age: indulgent and ever-enticing. His latest, WHERE DID THE GENTLEMAN GO?, examines the divergent but intersecting paths of composer/jazz pianist Bobby Troup and noted Hollywood hedonist Scotty Bowers, weaving together their respective songs and stories. Sept. 14 at 7 PM. (Pangea, 178 2nd Avenue, www.pangeanyc.com)
