EDITORS' PICKS
We don't have the resources to write in-depth stories about everything. Our editors want to share a few more events each week that we think you should know about. These picks are chosen by them without input from the organizations listed.
Led by Josh Nelson and Kevin van den Elzen, the band performs jazz versions of two classic Broadway musicals.

The second half presents Shelly Manne’s famous recording, "My Fair Lady Swings with the Un-original Cast." 8 p.m. January 18 at Irvine Barclay Theatre.
