Fluent in many of his native Brazil's musical styles, drummer Vanderlei Pereira's choice for his band's name - Blindfold Test - conveys the positive attitude of a gifted musician who lost his sight as a youngster.

In concert, his bandmates occasionally don blindfolds when performing, helping draw a personal connection to the way their leader experiences music. But that's no gimmick: Jazzwize magazine called the group's 2020 debut album, Vision For Rhythm, "glorious."

Cost: $25 (+$2.25 fee)
