Jimmy Scott at Echoplex

Back after a richly deserved mini-revival that culminated with Scott stealing Jeff Tweedy's soundtrack for the indie film "Chelsea Walls" with a sumptuous take on John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," the 86-year-old jazz vocalist's uniquely expressive way with a song will melt the hardest of hipster-hardened hearts with this show. Non-believers should consult the achingly soulful compilation "All or Nothing at All" and thank us later. The Echoplex, 1154 Glendale Blvd. , Los Angeles. Fri., 9 p.m., $22. (213) 413-8200.
