With the future of Hyde Park’s Timpano on hold, it’s tough to find a place to regularly see one of Tampa’s longest-running groups, Acme Jazz Garage. But for now, Ella’s has stepped in to fill the void. “Acme Jazz Garage returns to one of its favorite haunts, after a long break because of the thing,” the band wrote in an event description.

“Come on out for an afternoon of jazz, blues, funky stuff, bossas, and more.” This show is free, early (3 p.m.) and socially distanced because the Seminole Heights restaurant is still operating with limited capacity and mask rules in place.

Acme Jazz Garage. Sunday, May 2. 3 p.m. No cover. Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe, Tampa. ellasfolkartcafe.com
