A good week in Houston for jazz lovers. The most popular young jazz trumpeter (and heartthrob, so we hear) Chris Botti visits the Verizon Wireless Theater tonight. You can also catch local jazz singer Kimberly Longstreth tonight at her weekly appearance at The Corkscrew. You can also catch local classic Ezra Charles at the Duck and the newer jazz outfit Skyblue72 at Sansone’s
For those with kids, there’s Disney’s Doodlbops this weekend at Toyota Center. Listening to some samples of them makes us happy we don't have kids.
