Jazz enthusiasts have two showings at Blue Note São Paulo. The first, at 8 p.m., features a tribute to the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald performed by Indiana Nomma. Later, at 10:30 p.m., a concert celebrates 100 years since trumpeter Miles Davis was born. This concert, presented by the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, showcases music by Davis, Hancock, the band Yellowjackets, and Stevie Wonder.

The musical "Gil – Andar com Fé," directed by Miguel Falabella, tells the life and music of Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil, who was Brazil’s culture minister from 2003 to 2008. The show runs at Teatro Santander, part of the JK Iguatemi complex, from Thursday to Sunday until November 29.
