    Cosmic Intuition (Bilal Sunni-Ali tribute)

    Formed in 1991 for a Miles Davis tribute show, percussionist Rashah Amen’s Cosmic Intuition continues to lead a free-floating assemblage of Austin’s finest jazz musicians through stylistically fluid, thematically expansive performances across a multitude of venues. The first in a series of “Improvisation Soundscapes,” this Concert for Human Harmony pays tribute to saxophonist/flautist Bilal Sunni-Ali, the legendary player for the Song of Life Ensemble and Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson’s landmark 1975 LP The First Minute of a New Day, and a longtime friend of Amen’s. Featuring veteran woodwind virtuoso Alex Coke, this promises to be a singular performance. – Michael Toland

    Enjoy, Puzzle [outside]

    Twins Wyatt and Fletcher Shears step outside of their shared project the Garden to bring their solo acts, Enjoy and Puzzle, to Mohawk’s outdoor stage. Each brother has released a new album this year – Wyatt’s Enjoy leaning into warped, groovy synth-pop, and Fletcher’s Puzzle offering disorienting jazzy dreamscapes with a cartoonish edge. Fans of outsider pop and lo-fi indie won’t want to miss this one: It’s weird, it’s catchy, and it’ll get you dancing. – Kyra Bruce

    Happy Gilmore (1996)

    Either you grew up with parents who despised the Sandman and all his buffoonery, or you’re me and Happy Gilmore was background noise to half your childhood. (The other half being scored by, of course, Billy Madison.) Since Adam Sandler’s continued and quite lucrative streaming deal with Netflix farts out a sequel to the golf goof this coming July, theatres all over the country – including here in ATX – are screening the off-kilter original. Typical Sandler protag Happy has proven himself too hot for the hockey ice, and in an effort to help his grandmother pay off IRS back taxes, he utilizes his slapshot skills to get into golf. While Sandman obviously shines, this movie’s greatest legend is in the late Carl Weathers as mentor figure Chubbs Peterson, whose golf career – and two-handedness – were cut short by an alligator attack. It’s also the first instance of Julie Bowen as a Sandler love interest, a role she repeats in Hubie Halloween. – James Scott

    Murder Ballads

    Multiple Best of Austin-winning radio host Laurie Gallardo leads a spirited discussion of Katy Horan’s new book, a delightfully macabre collection of illustrated murder ballads, or narrative folk songs with dastardly deeds as the central focus. For this one, the Literary Witches author chose 20 to illustrate and explore, including “Delia’s Gone” and “The Death of Queen Jane,” and the book offers sources for recordings so you can listen along. Fans of true crime, history, and music will not want to miss this one. – Kat McNevins

    Pup Crawl ATX

    Some people call Austin the Live Music Capital, and others call it the blueberry in Texas tomato soup. But Austin’s real claim is being Dog City, where everyone and everywhere’s got a pup running around. Closing out their monthlong fundraising tour is the Austin Dog Park & Bar Alliance with the second annual Pup Crawl. For $39, you get a Pup Pass – which nets you and your pooch entry and a drink at each participating park. Full disclosure, the Chronicle will be popping up this Sunday at the Watering Bowl to participate in the paw-some event. Sunday is also the last day that Central Texas Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will be on-site, so come wolf down a few pints while helping support a good cause. – James Scott

    Shhhinema for the People

    Background context: This is Hyperreal’s mystery movie night, primarily programmed by two people I consider trash experts, aka Ziah Grace and Morgan Hyde. Tickets cost around $5, but you more than get your money’s worth as exemplified in previous picks like John Waters’ A Dirty Shame or last week’s tokusatsu tale The Super Inframan. However, attendance is heavily encouraged for this upcoming edition – which may be the series’ curtain call – as Grace and Hyde have outdone themselves with their next bewitching pick. Per Grace: “It is truly a once in a lifetime theatrical experience … the craziest movie either of us have ever seen.” – James Scott
