Tonight. The jazz scene is on an upswing in Denver: new clubs, aspiring local artists and terrific sideshows that give the environment its depth. These days, the most interesting offering might be the Fresh Jazz & Crisp Vinyl Series at the Dikeou Pop-Up Space on East Colfax Avenue, which has its 14th installment tonight. The series is raw and unconstrained, and unlike the new, pricey clubs downtown, free, unpolished and experimental, making it a good venue for S.M.R.T, an entity that’s been defining music as it goes along. Anything from pure jazz to funk to electronic music could be in store. Plus, there will be a DJ spinning selections from the space’s exhaustive collection of vinyl. And definitely, check out the art on the walls, which is pretty amazing right now. 7 p.m., 312 E. Colfax Ave. Free. .
