All in the family The Marsalis family has been making music for years. While Branford and Wynton may be a little better known, it doesn’t mean they’re better musically. Although, each in the family might argue over who’s the best. Ellis Marsalis Jr., the patriarch of the Marsalis family, and his son Delfeayo, will be performing together as part of
their “The Last Southern Gentlemen” tour at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club on Saturday. Ellis Jr., is a pianist, while Delfeayo plays the trombone. The show is a highlight for any jazz fan. Tickets for the show are $30. For more information, visit bethesdabluesjazz.com.

Popular R&B group Boyz II Men will be making a stop at the Fillmore Silver Spring on Friday.
On bended knee
In 1991, a quartet of friends from Philadelphia released an album with a fresh, new sound. The world instantly became hooked and made Boyz II Men quite famous. Although the quartet is now down to a trio, the smooth R&B sounds are still the same, and you can enjoy them yourself when Boyz II Men comes to the Fillmore Silver Spring on Friday. Tickets for the show are $39.50. “Cooleyhighharmony,” featured the hits “It’s
So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” “Motownphilly,” and “Uhh Ahh,” making the album a smash — going nine times platinum in the U.S. alone. Since then, the group has gone on to release 11 more albums, including a Christmas CD. Their most recent album, “Collide,” is set to be released on Sept. 30.

It’s just like candy

Jackie Hoysted’s “Pick n’ Mix” is currently on display at VisArts in Rockville.
Artwork that’s good enough to eat? No, this isn’t a scene from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, it’s the latest exhibit at VisArts in Rockville. “Jackie Hoysted: The Candy Store” is on display
now through Aug. 17 at the Gibbs Street Gallery in Rockville. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Hoysted, a native of Dublin, Ireland, has used scented paints to make her paintings look and smell good enough
to eat. Her works play with idea of “eye candy” — a personal contemplation on desire and craving. For more information, visit visartsatrockville.org or call 301-3158200.
