Ernestine Anderson with Houston Person

Ms. Anderson, a soulful and experienced singer, is at her best weighing the ups and downs of love. She should have no problem covering that terrain here with help from a frequent foil, the tenor saxophonist Houston Person. She also has good help from the pianist Lafayette Harris Jr., the bassist Lonnie Plaxico and the drummer Willie Jones III. (Through Aug. 9.) At 7:30 and 9 p.m., Jazz Standard, 116 East 27th Street, Manhattan , (212) 576-2232, jazzstandard.net; cover, $30.
