MOONWALK WITH ME WHO’S BAD? THE ULTIMATE MICHAEL JACKSON EXPERIENCE Who’s Bad is indeed the question. Now we know from court records and Dr.
Conrad Murray’s own busy hands that MJ was really bad. But salacious snark aside, the King of Pop has left a musical legacy that’s near-impossible to surpass. (They don’t build child-superstars like they used to.) So if you long to put your own dancin’ shoes on (penny loafers, if you please), you’ll be in rich company with this kingly tribute band. 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, The Florida Theatre, Downtown, $39-$50, floridatheatre.com.

DREAM OF THIS
MARCUS PRINTUP QUINTET If you’ve ever lamented the passing of the Jazz Age, then get thee with all haste to The Parlour, where renowned jazz trumpet player Printup (a member of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, after all) and his quintet—featuring local drummer Ben Adkins— swing hard and sometimes get a little funky, too. He and his wife, acclaimed harpist Riza Printup, are here in partnership with Riverside Fine Arts Association’s Project Listen, presenting Riza’s educational program I Have a Song Inside My Heart to several area elementary schools. 8 p.m.-11:59 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, The Parlour (adjacent to Grape & Grain), San Marco, free, 396-4456.
