1. Deborah Harry w/ Kristoffer Rangnstam

7:30 PM, Saturday November 24, The Vogue, $30

Deborah Harry is best known as the lead singer of Blondie, the group that bridged the gap between the punk, new wave, hip hop, and disco sounds that defined New York’s music scene in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Along with her work with that Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group, she’s also released five solo records. The most recent, “Necessary Evil,” came out in October and is her first in 14 years.

2. Terence Blanchard Quintet

7 & 9 PM, Wednesday November 28, Jazz Kitchen, $25

New Orleans born-and-trained trumpeter Terence Blanchard is one of the most prolific film score creators currently working. Blanchard’s work has appeared in over 50 films as well as the Spike Lee documentary “When the Levee’s Broke.” That work featured not only Blanchard’s musical work, but his comments on the disaster that destroyed his family’s homes. His musical response to Katrina, “A Tale of God’s Will (A Requiem for Katrina),” came out earlier this year.
