Reigning blues legend and regular bay area visitor **Buddy Guy** returns Saturday; he and his band are at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Bobby Rush and Tom Hambridge open the 7:30 show. Guy canceled part of his fall 2023 tour (including a scheduled date at the Baycare Sound amphitheater), citing health reasons. The 87-year-old singer/guitarist recently declared this to be his last-ever tour: “I want to go out in good style,” Guy told _Forbes_. “I don’t want to disappoint somebody who done paid to see me.
If I ain’t able to give them their money’s worth? Well, I’m thinking about that now while I’m in my right mind. I want to leave in good standing. ” Tickets are [here](https://www. rutheckerdhall.

Winner of an astonishing 14 Grammy Awards (he has an Oscar, too), Hancock got famous as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the 1960s. He went on to pioneer jazz/funk fusion and led the way in jazz’s exploration into the world of electronic music-making. He is a gifted composer and arranger, and at 84 one of the last of his generation.
