Trumpeter Marcus Printup has the makings of a first class ’90s jazz musician: He’s bright (as is his tone), articulate (as are his compositions), and suave (as is his playing). Printup’s debut album, Song for the Beautiful Woman, captures all these attributes in a beautifully refined hard bop setting that swings mightily with Wynton Marsalis protégé Eric Reed at the piano. At 8 & 10 p.m. at Blues Alley, 1073 Rear Wisconsin Ave. NW. $16. (202) 337-4141. (CP)
