San Diego Jazz Fest and Swing Extravagan­za:

-

If it’s Thanksgivi­ng weekend, that means it’s time for San Diego Jazz Fest, one of the longest-running jazz and swing festivals in the country. But don’t get your dancing shoes on just yet — this year’s event is once again going virtual. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be able to watch streamed performanc­es by groups like High Society Jazz Band, Mad Hat Hucksters, and Sue Palmer & Her Motel Swing Orchestra. Whether you make a dance floor in the living room is up to you. Throughout the day today through Sunday. Donations welcome. Performanc­es will be available to watch at sdjazzfest.org.

The Greyboy Allstars: Do you remember 1994, back when The Greyboy Allstars had a Wednesday night residency at the Green Circle Bar (R.I.P.)? That’s when the jazz-funk outfit cemented itself as one of the most innovative local bands around — a reputation that continues to hold true, even though the band members (Karl Denson, Michael Andrews, Robert Walter, Chris Stillwell and Aaron Redfield) have gone on to work on other, high-profile projects. Relive a night of soul, groove and Latin boogaloowi­th the original harbingers of cool. 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. $30 and $33. bellyup.com

Slim Jim Phantom: Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom continues to represent the world of rockabilly via fashion, a podcast, an autobiogra­phy and, of course, music. Known as a showstoppi­ng performer, he returns to the stage to perform his brand of rock for a 21-andup crowd. 9:30 p.m. today. Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd., Midtown. $22 to $25. casbahmusi­c.com

All venues follow COVID protocols; check individual sites for details.
