The jazz saxophonist whose music was once a hit with the “don’t trust anyone over 30” crowd turns 75 this year. Charles Lloyd doesn’t play much jazz for hippies anymore but he hasn’t completely abandoned that era’s yearning for freedom. His birthday celebration tonight promises to include a variety of dimensions: His current quartet (pianist and Kennedy Center jazz advisor Jason Moran, bassist Reuben Rodgers, and drummer Eric Harland) will be there, but Lloyd will also work with musicians like Indian tablaist Zakir Hussain, lyra player Sokratis Sinopoulos, and Greek vocalist Maria Farantouri. By the end of the evening, the flower children won’t be the only ones with expanded minds. Read more >>> Charles Lloyd performs at 8 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, 2700 F St. NW. $20-$65.

EAT THIS

This week’s cover package is all about food trucks, and in their honor, we suggest you head to one during your next lunch hour. First, use this handy dandy flow chart to help you decide which truck to visit. Then check out one of the many mobile apps to help you track down trucks’ locations. While waiting in line, consider these etiquette rules from Miss Manners. And while you’re eating, take our quiz about whether certain names belong to food trucks or local recreational sports teams. Do it all fast, because according to our interviews with food truck owners, new regulations could mean fewer trucks on the streets. (Jessica Sidman)
