Michael O'Neill Quintet

Quintet featuring Kenny Washington: Kenny Washington is criminally under-documented as a recording artist, but over the past decade, saxophonist Michael O’Neill has worked diligently to craft inspiring settings for the supremely soulful Bay Area jazz singer. They celebrate the release of their latest collaboration, “New Beginnings,” with largely the same cast as the album, including trumpeter Erik Jekabson, exploring arresting arrangements of familiar standards like “Dinah” and “Stella By Starlight.” 5:30 and 7 p.m. Sunday. $25. SFJazz Center, 201 Franklin St., S.F. (866) 920-5299. www.sfjazz.org.

While an undergraduate at Princeton University, BJ Miller was electrocuted and nearly died, and the accident left him a triple amputee. Today, as executive director of the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco, he has built his life work around the care of others who are approaching death. Miller joins us as part of our First Person series on local leaders and innovators.

Conceived of at sea, on a dark moonless night, this project has been a lifetime in the making. Yuriko Doi brings it to light this weekend and assures us (despite our unwillingness to believe) that it will be her last directorial project. Written by our fellow Project Artaud denizen and award-winning playwright John O’Keefe, Mystical Abyss includes a remarkable group of artists and it has been my pleasure to spend the last few weeks with them.
