Jazz heads take note: Acclaimed quartet, the Robert Glasper Experiment, takes the stage in Atlanta tonight ( Wed., Nov. 6), performing songs from its recently released new album, Black Radio 2.

A follow-up to the group's Grammy-winning Black Radio, BR2 follows the blueprint of the project's original iteration by pairing the Experiment crew with an ass-load of guest vocalists, including Jill Scott, Eric Roberson, Lalah Hathaway, Norah Jones, and even Brandy, among others. No word yet if any of these (or any other) special guests will appear with the band tonight, but with the ATL being such a center of gravity for so many notable soul singers, there's a distinct possibility.



$30-$35. 7 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. 404-524-7354.
