Take 5: Cultural highlights this month

Every so often, UNLV culls its best jazz students in an arcane ritual called “Dark Harvest: The Musical Soul-Reapening.” Okay, it’s actually called the UNLV Jazz Concert Series,  but you get the idea. The college’s finest musicians take you through a swingin’ set of jazz classics and contemporary tunes. The UNLV Jazz Ensemble performs 7p Oct. 9 at the Clark County Library’s main theater. Free.

Long before the office of president devolved into being an elaborately coiffed figurehead for powerful megacorporate interests, there were presidents like Andrew Jackson: ardently populist, brutally decisive and an unapologetic demagogue. Got a problem with that? HE JUST CHALLENGED YOUR FACE TO A DUEL. Satirical rock musical  “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”  is performed 8p Sept. 13-28 and 2p Sept. 22 at Onyx Theatre, 953 E. Sahara Ave. #16 in Commercial Center. Tickets $25. Info: onyxtheatre.com
