COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA: “Music of Ella Fitzgerald’’ — This 18-piece band (playing the Basie charts?), some of them hired by Basie way back when, has gotten some rave reviews for bringing forth the solid swing Basie was known for, and while obviously no one could stand in for his incomparable vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, Lizz Wright is a fine choice and wisely does Lizz Wright, not Ella. Wed 8 p.m., The Soraya, CSU Northridge, $41-86.
