Ever have one of those weeks?  For whatever reason, a confluence of great music hits town for the next seven days.

Arturo O’Farrill, who writes and plays highly charged Afro-Cuban jazz, moves into Catalina’s Friday and Saturday. The scion of the great composer/arranger Chico O’Farrill, Arturo is extending the line in more ways than one. Music takes many forms in Linda Sohl-Ellison’s annual Rhapsody In Taps company concert, Saturday at the Japan-America Theatre (8 p.m.; 244 S. San Pedro St., Little Tokyo, 213-680-3700). Her tap choreography utilizes jazz and different world musics. She has a new Foster Johnson tribute that will remember the tap legend with a characteristic mix of musical Terpsichore and percussive syncopations. Sunday, the captivating fado singer Mariza stops at the Disney Hall. With her deeply felt songs and angelic soaring, the Portugueza is truly deserving of the mantle of diva. Guitarist Wolfgang Schalk lights up the Baked Potato Monday. His soft tone recalls Wes Montgomery, but his lines are full of surprises and, of course, the tempos are awfully bright. The same night, bassist Dan Lutz will pivot off of coleaders Jean-Michel Pilc and Ari Hoenig at the Jazz Bakery. The pianist and drummer, respectively, go for the emotional interior of a song. They can turn a tune inside out in surprising ways, like Pilc’s subterranean and oblique references to Victor Herbert’s “Rose Marie” on original “New Dreams.” Wednesday night at the Bakery, one of the few practicing masters of the soprano sax, Dave Liebman, begins a four-night run. Ever have one of those weeks?  You’re having one now.
