Twin Cities concerts of the week:
Twin Cities concerts of the week: 50 Cent at Myth, Winter Jazz Festival remembers DJ Leigh Kamman - photo: ALEX WELSH, NEW YORK TIMES
By Jon Bream and Chris Riemenschneider
JANUARY 26, 2017 — 4:44PM
Steve Cole Super Band: Since the Chicago saxophonist has been living in the Twin Cities, he connected with the Petersons. So the presence of keyboardist Ricky Peterson and vocalist Patty Peterson guarantee that this will be a funky good time. (7 & 9 p.m. Fri. Dakota, $20, dakotacooks.com)
Somi: Her seductively gauzy music reflects both her African and American roots. On her latest album, “The Lagos Music Salon,” the Illinois-born singer of Rwandan and Ugandan heritage is joined by world-music queen Angelique Kidjo, rapper Common and jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. The New York singer, who composed this album while living in Nigeria, is a sophisticate who mixes jazz fusion, Afro pop, earnest R&B and delicate pop. She doesn’t shy away from causes, singing about everything from environmental issues to the plight of domestic workers to the trial and tribulations of love. (7:30 p.m. Fri. Ordway, St. Paul, $27-$37, ordway.org.)
The Current’s 12th Birthday: With a new album in the can for mid-year release, Jeremy Messersmith tops out the Friday lineup over Portland’s “White Flag”-singing sister trio Joseph, dramatic Philly rockers Strand of Oaks and Afrobeat groovers Black Market Brass Band. Haley Bonar rides fresh acclaim for her latest record, “Impossible Dream,” to headline Saturday with New York’s hotly hyped psychedelic pop teens the Lemon Twigs, Montreal tunesmith Sam Roberts and local newbies ZuluZuluu and Monica LaPante. (8 p.m. Fri. & Sat. 1/27-28, First Avenue, Mpls., $20/night, eTix.com.)
Rachel Platten: “The Fight Song” hitmaker is trying to prove she’s not a one-hit wonder. She’s certainly trying to be a careerist, what with doing the National Anthem at the 2016 World Series and singing at the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in New York City. Hailey Knox opens. (8 p.m. Fri. Mystic Lake, $39-$54., mysticlake.com)

Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau
Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau album review: A meeting of masterly minds
Cormac Larkin
Thu, Jan 26, 2017, 11:00
Mandolin and piano is as unlikely an instrumental pairing as you’ll find. Putting them together in a duo really shouldn’t work, but Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau clearly didn’t get the memo. This meeting of two masters of their respective realms is a spine-tingling triumph – a honky, gutsy, jaunty, darkly witty new musical alloy that is suitably strange yet strangely familiar.
Thile has spent the past 20 years rewriting the bluegrass rule book with his groups Nickel Creek and Punch Brothers, along the way acquiring an unprecedented virtuosity on his instrument and branching out into solo performances of Bach partitas and collaborations with everyone from YoYo Ma to Edgar Meyer.
Mehldau, too, aside from being the most copied jazz pianist of his generation, has shown an admirable tendency to mix outside his comfort zone, notably with producer Jon Brion on the rock-influenced Largo (2002) and with drummer Mark Guiliana on the superb Taming the Dragon (2014).
