New York jazz singer Kate McGarry comes to Yoshi’s with her band Tuesday to celebrate the release of her new CD The Target. She was last seen in San Francisco two years ago in pianist Fred Hersch’s brilliant large ensemble jazz production of Walt Whitman poems, “Leaves of Grass.” Her own vocal style comes out of a New England childhood, Irish folk roots, study of African rhythms, and a drive to make each song, no matter how traditional, her own. She’s an exciting young musician to keep an eye on. With Gary Versace (piano, accordion, organ), McGarry’s husband Keith Ganz (guitar), bassist Reuben Rogers, and drummer Jason Lewis, at 8 p.m. ($16) and 10 p.m. ($10). Yoshis.com
