1. Thunder Cat

As the Thundercat, Stephen Bruner made a name for himself as a stunning bassist on the West Coast, adding his instrument to music as varied as Suicidal Tendencies and Kendrick Lamar. His albums are a joyfully labyrinthine tour through his tastes and abilities, both limitless. And he clearly has an eye on Houston, as Thundercat’s 2017 album “Drunk” received a chopped and screwed version in purple. He’s on a pandemic-delayed tour behind his latest, “It Is What It Is,” which finds the restless composer working with old and new jazzmen (Steve Lacy, Kamasi Washington) and hip-hop artists such as Ty Dolla Sign and Childish Gambino.

When: 7 p.m. on November 19

Details: White Oak Music Hall, 2915 N. Main

Details: $ 34; 713-237-0370, whiteoakmusichall.com

2. John Moreland

For those looking to go beyond Chris Stapleton’s hugely successful sound, John Moreland offers his own take on the music that twists a country singer-songwriter vibe with a gritty Southern soul. Moreland is a native Texan who grew up in Oklahoma, where he found his marks as a songwriter who could incorporate emotional depth and narrative richness into a few verses. He had been making albums for several years before “High on Tulsa Heat” was no longer widely recognized in 2015. Since then he has wonderfully refined his sound on “Big Bad Luv” and “LP5” last year.

When:
8 p.m. on November 19

Or:
Heights Theater, 339 W. 19th

Details:
$ 22 to $ 36; theheightstheater.com

3. Ólafur Arnalds, “Invisible”

Icelandic composer / pianist Ólafur Arnalds has released a lot of music lately. After several singles and EPs, “Invisible”, a collection of eight unearthed instrumental tracks that Arnalds had originally designed as the soundtrack to “The Invisible Front”, a film about Lithuanian resistance to Soviet occupation. The songs are ten years old, but the best of them, such as “Happiness Does Not Wait”, “Partisans” and “Epilogue”, still carry a particularly sad and melancholy punch.

4. “Glória”

If you’ve been sitting on Thanksgiving weekend looking for something to eat, check out this 10-episode Portuguese political thriller on Netflix that’s chock-full of spy versus spy intrigue. Set in 1968 at the height of the Cold War, it takes place in a village outside of Lisbon that is home to a relay station broadcasting US-controlled Radio Free Europe programming behind the Iron Curtain. Needless to say, the Soviets want to shut it down – and will do anything to do so – including recruiting the son of a prominent politician. In Portuguese with English subtitles and English dubbing available.

Details: Streaming on Netflix.
