What’s On Tonight
Blue Note São Paulo lists MusicMan Jazz tonight with a tribute to Miles Davis. The set is billed as Nefertiti and starts at 8 p.m.
Nefertiti is a 1968 album by the Miles Davis Quintet, with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Tonight’s 8 p.m. set is the only show on the programme.
The club’s page listed tickets as available when we checked on 22 September. Its only other official seller is Eventim, and the club warns against buying anywhere else.
The room sits on the second floor of the Conjunto Nacional, at Avenida Paulista 2073. On Tuesdays the second-floor desk opens from 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m., and a ground-floor box office keeps daytime hours.
One Album at a Time
MusicMan Jazz is a São Paulo group built around the drummer Cassiano Pires. It has played a series of single-album jazz tributes at this club.
The group has built its run around single records rather than general tribute nights. Earlier listings covered Kind of Blue, Birth of the Cool and ‘Round About Midnight.
That format suits a Tuesday well. A listener can pick the record they know, and a newcomer hears one record explored in depth rather than a medley.
It also explains how this club fills its quieter nights. Tributes and album nights hold the start of the week, while weekend shows sell fastest.
What We Could Not Confirm
The free Instrumental Sesc Brasil series plays on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the Teatro Anchieta at Sesc Consolação. We could not confirm tonight’s act from Sesc’s own calendar.
A regular slot is not a confirmed show. Check the Sesc São Paulo site before you travel, especially in tonight’s rain.
When the series runs, tickets are free and released on the day. They go online from noon and at Sesc box offices from 2 p.m.
We also cannot quote tonight’s price at Blue Note, because neither of the club’s pages for tonight shows it. The figure appears only when you buy through the club’s ticket link.
The Rest of the Week
Wednesday brings two shows, and the earlier one already carries a last-tickets label. A 1980s Brazilian rock tribute plays first, followed by Sophy singing Marilyn Monroe.
Thursday has Adriano Grineberg with a Ray Charles and BB King night, then Walerie Gondim singing Gal Costa. Friday’s Amy Reggaehouse night and Saturday’s Demônios da Garoa are both down to their last tickets.
Sunday is a single show at 7 p.m., Frã Finamore’s Tim Maia birthday tribute. The club’s listing gives it no scarcity label.

Money and How Paying Works
This guide quotes no local prices, so we make no currency conversion today. Check tonight’s figure at purchase, before you confirm.
Tables are allocated in order of arrival rather than at booking. The earlier you arrive, the better your view of the stage.
Restaurants usually add a service charge of about 10 per cent, called serviço. Brazilian law makes it optional, and staff remove it if you ask.
What This Means for Your Evening
A single 8 p.m. set is the simplest night the club offers. You are out by mid-evening, and the metro is still running.
The Tuesday desk closes at 8.30 p.m., so buying online is the safer choice. It also saves standing in a queue after coming in from the rain.
If you are planning the weekend rather than tonight, book it now. Both Friday and Saturday are already down to their last tickets.
Getting Home Safe
An 8 p.m. show finishes well inside normal metro hours. Check the last train for your own line on the Metrô or ViaQuatro sites.
The state civil defence has a flood alert out after days of rain, and storms are forecast into the night. Allow extra time, and bring an umbrella and a jacket.
Avenida Paulista stays busy and well lit into the night. Wait for a car on the avenue rather than on a side street.
Wednesday looks cold and wet as well, with a high near 15°C. Thursday stays grey, and Friday to Sunday look dry and warmer.
