ARTS: EXHIBIT: AMERICAN DUET - JAZZ & ABSTRACT ART The latest exhibition at Bellagio’s must-visit art gallery explores the relationship between jazz and abstract art through a variety of visual mediums. Assembled through the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, American Duet features 61 works by 34 artists and incorporates a carefully curated playlist to complement (or complete?) the visual experience. Highlights include the “mindscape” paintings of jazz singer and expressionist Richard Mayhew, Harlem Renaissance icon Beauford Delaney, fashion designer and printmaker Mavis Pusey, mixed media phenomenon Mickalene Thomas, and abstract artist Al Johnson, whose new piece Here’s To Life was painted live at Bellagio. Be ready to explore the deeper connections between sound, color and shape. Thru 6/1, daily 10 a.m.-6 p.m., $15-$19, Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, bellagio.com/bgfa. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: TALIB KWELI It’s been a minute since the legendary lyricist Talib Kweli graced a Las Vegas stage but when he does, it’s a guaranteed treat. In the last 30 years, the Brooklyn-bred rapper has established himself as a crucial voice in underground hip-hop. Beginning in the ’90s with Mos Def (now known as Yasiin Bey) in the duo Black Star, Kweli gained recognition for his gifted lyricism, championing Black excellence, love and racial justice through javelin-tipped flows. On his 10th studio album, The Confidence of Knowing, he pilots in the cockpit of conscious rap, paying respect to the old-guards of hip-hop in the track “Native Sons,” which references the Native Tongues collective of the ’80s and ’90s that featured De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and many others. If you’re searching for a night of hip-hop with substance, you’ve found it with Kweli. 7 p.m., $30, Swan Dive, swandivelv.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR Depending on how we look at it, the current state of affairs can look like a tragedy or a comedy. Luckily, William Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor leans into the latter, and that’s just what we need. The play follows the swindling Sir John Falstaff who, in a moment of financial desperation, attempts to woo two married women through identical love letters. After the wives discover the hoax, they begin to plot our favorite brand of outlandishly funny revenge. “I’ve heard this play described as Shakespeare’s sitcom,” director and UNLV assistant professor Sean Boyd said in a statement. “I can’t disagree. It’s filled with familiar characters and situations from the history of TV sitcoms—ones I grew up with and the classic ones as well.” Boyd, an actor who has starred in the Dallas Buyers Club and on AMC’s Preacher, makes his directorial debut here, harnessing his love for comedy to create one side-splitting production. 3 & 5 p.m. (& thru 12/14, days & times vary), $30, Alta Ham Fine Arts Black Box Theatre, unlv.edu. –Amber Sampson
