    Discover Ellington: Brian Stokes Mitchell - Music Event
    So steeped in the language and legacy of Duke Ellington is Broadway's Brian Stokes Mitchell, he named his son for the jazz legend. "What's great about the name [Ellington] is everything that's great about Duke's music," he told the Post's Jess Righthand. "It's got this implied royalty to it, and an implied depth." That level of appreciation more than qualifies Mitchell to perform an evening of the Duke's greatest hits at 8 p.m.

    The 26th Annual Wammies - Music Event
    The Washington Area Music Association has always appeared to be a fairly insular organization. The group's annual awards are voted on by its own members (anyone can join for $35), and the nominees and winners of the Wammies, predictably, reflect the membership. But taking a look at the 2012 ballot and seeing Bluebrain, Oddisee, Tittsworth, Fat Trel, Gods'illa, Office of Future Plans, the Caribbean and Deleted Scenes, the impression is that WAMA is at least trying to break outside of its comfort zone. The 26th annual awards show is at 8 p.m.
