Jazz jam
Davina and the Vagabonds will play original songs that evoke the sound of the 1930s tonight, at the Hot Summer Nights outdoor jazz festival. Singer and bandleader Davina Lozier says that her influences range “from Fats Waller to Fats Domino, from Judy Collins to Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong to Led Zeppelin,” and she blends those bands into a unique gumbo of swinging tunes.
8 p.m. at Kingsborough’s Lighthouse Bandshell [2001 Oriental Blvd. at Oxford Street in Manhattan Beach, (718) 368–5596, www.onstageatkingsborough]. Free.

Magic man
The Gallery Players production of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” contains some fun, original touches. As Prospero’s servant spirits, a chorus of children in masks lends an eerie air to the scenes of magic, and the genderbent casting means that Prospero’s daughter Miranda falls in love with a shipwrecked princess, instead of the usual prince. The show continues through July 28.
3 p.m. at Gallery Players [199 14th St. between Fourth and Fifth avenues in Park Slope, (212) 352–3101, www.galle
