MUSIC

• This year’s TD James Moody Jazz Festival will include a “Tribute to Funk!,” Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Prudential Hall at NJPAC in Newark, with one of the genre’s primary architects, George Clinton, as well as tap-dancer Savion Glover, singers Nona Hendryx (of Labelle) and Bilal, guitarist Vernon Reid (of Living Colour) and bassist Christian McBride. Ray Chew will serve as music director.

According to NJPAC’s website, the show will feature “the hits of P-funk, Prince, James Brown and more.” (P-funk, of course, is shorthand for Clinton’s Jersey-based groups Parliament and Funkadelic.)
