Jazz Supper Club
Hamptons Jazz Fest and The Church in Sag Harbor have joined forces to present an evening of music and dinner on Friday, Jan. 26, at the American Hotel in that village. The event will benefit Hampton Jazz Fest's future programming.

The music will be provided by Marta Sanchez, a jazz pianist whose multinational quintet has been called by The New York Times "one of the most quietly memorable groups in jazz . . . [one] that plays her molten, Spanish folk-influenced compositions." Ms. Sanchez has toured the United States, Europe, South America, and Central America.

A four-course menu will start with lobster bisque, followed by a watercress and endive salad, a choice of paella, filet of flounder, or roast chicken, and floating island or another dessert. The meal also includes sparkling wine to begin, red or white wine with dinner, and coffee, tea, and petit fours. A cash bar will be available.

Tickets are $225.

Rock at the Temple
Next up in the Sag Harbor Masonic Club's music series is the band Big Jim's Wife, which will bring the music of the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, the Band, Bob Dylan, and the Grateful Dead to the Masonic Temple on Saturday at 8 p.m.

The band features Mark Himberger, slide guitar and vocals; Jan Himberger, keyboards and vocals; Elwood Thorson, bass and vocals, and Mike Guglielmo, drums.

Tickets, in support of local charities, are $20.

Southern Rock in Riverhead
ZBTB, a tribute band, will bring the music of the Grammy award-winning Southern country-rock group the Zac Brown Band to the Suffolk Theater in Riverhead Friday at 8 p.m.

From the 2008 hit "Chicken Fried" to the recent anthem "Same Boat," ZBTB performs all the hits of the Zac Brown Band. The members of ZBTB come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some have advanced degrees in music, some have toured internationally, and one even played for the circus.

Tickets range from $35 to $45.
 

Say Cheese (or Caviar), Day or Night

Self Provisions, a storefront attached to Cavaniola’s Gourmet Cheese in Sag Harbor, is “always open,” as is proclaimed by an illuminated sign on the wall at the entrance. Two large, brightly lit vending machines dominate the space, with offerings ranging from sea salt crackers and slabs of French butter to jars of caviar and curated gift boxes — and, of course, cheese.
