JAZZ

Warren Oree: When paying tribute to past masters, most musicians tend to focus on players of the same instrument. But it's hard to find any artist in jazz that hasn't been profoundly affected by the music and innovations of John Coltrane, so it's not too surprising to find bassist Warren Oree honoring the saxophone legend. Philadelphia Museum of Art, 26th St. & Ben Franklin Pkwy., 5:45 and 7:15 tonight, free with regular museum admission of $16, 215-763-8100, www.philamuseum.org.

Boney James: The R&B influences in the saxophonist's smooth-jazz mix came directly from touring stints with the likes of the Isley Brothers and Teena Marie. His latest, "Send One Your Love," is a collection of love songs in that spirit, featuring tunes by Stevie Wonder, Barry White and James Taylor. Great Plaza, Penn's Landing, Columbus Boulevard at Market St., 7:30 tonight, free, 215-928-8801, www.delawareriverevents.com.

Meg & the Cliftones: Philly singer Meg Clifton has a sunny voice, tailor-made for songbook standards, but she applies that classic style to slightly more up-to-date material, tackling classic rock bands like Iron Butterfly, the Beach Boys and Emerson Lake and Palmer in swinging style. Chris' Jazz Cafe, 1421 Sansom St., 8 & 10 tonight, $15, 215-568-3131, www.chrisjazzcafe.com.

Chiquita Green: Chris' Jazz Café's monthlong showcase of singers concludes with a Philly summit of sorts, with vocalist Green backed by drummer Webb Thomas' quartet featuring saxophonist Chris Farr. Chris' Jazz Café, 1421 Sansom St., 8 & 10 p.m. tomorrow, $20, 215-568-3131, www.chrisjazzcafe.com.
