Jazz fans will want to investigate the music of flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny, who performs at Dizzy’s on Aug. 15. The occasion is a special concert to celebrate the release of his tenth album, “Sagebrush Rebellion,” a project recorded live at Dizzy’s on his 2013 tour. Matheny will be backed by the same great band featured on the album: pianist Nick Manson, bassist Justin Grinell and drummer Duncan Moore. This show takes in a wonderful mix of classic material from the likes of Duke Ellington and Charlie Haden and originals from Matheny and Grinell. The flugelhorn is rarely seen as a lead instrument, but in Matheny’s capable hands, that perception is definitely changing. • DMITRI MATHENY: Friday, Aug. 15 at DIZZY’S, 4275 Mission Bay Drive. 8 p.m. $15. www.dizzysjazz.com.
