GUITARIST OF NOTE:
I don’t know much about Rotem Sivan, but based on his wonderful 2014 album “For Emotional Use Only,” I can say he’s a jazz guitarist of refreshing understatement. Not to knock a generation of fusion shredders and their acolytes, but there’s a timeless magic in the quiet and spacious playing of the legendary Jim Hall, and the liquidity of Sivan’s playing recalls that jazz titan. Based in New York, he comes to Houston with a trio. 9 p.m. Friday at Cezanne, 4100 Montrose; $10; 832592-7464, cezannejazz .com.
