4. Hyde Park Jazz Festival: The Hyde Park Jazz Fest is much more than a neighborhood music festival — anyone who’s been to a previous iteration can tell you that. It gets all the city’s headliners in one place, while still wielding enough gravitational pull to coax major out-of-towners such as violinist Regina Carter and saxophonist Miguel Zenón. Here, Carter links up with cellist Tomeka Reid and bassist Junius Paul for their New String Trio (it’s what it says on the tin!) while Zenón arrives alongside Peruvian-American drummer Juan Pastor and his ensemble, Chinchano. Sept. 25 to 26, various locations around Hyde Park and streamed online; hydeparkjazzfestival.com
