Dads, grads have scads of options.

Byline: BUZZWORTHY The Register-Guard

Grads and dads, your shared season is here.

The Shedd is billing its Sunday show by jazz great Herbie Hancock as the perfect Father's Day gift. That show at the Hult Center could make a good gift, but so could the improv show Saturday night in the same hall.

It just depends on the dad. Jazz pioneer who collaborated with pop stars on his last album? Former stars of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" How about both?

Another option for Saturday night is the CD release party at Luna for "Don Latarski & Rue D'Acoustic," a self-titled release from the group led by one of Eugene's most talented guitarists.

For the younger set, graduating or not, the Indigo District is hosting Grad Night on Saturday. They need a break. Imagine the mental toughness it must have taken to survive finals with Paris Hilton popping in and out of jail.

The bill is an all-ages show featuring the Portland hip-hop trio Lifesavas on the venue's new stage. The Lifesavas have a new release, "Gutterfly," that would make some good summer study material. See if you can follow the plot of the fictitious movie the group has created.

Another Portland band, 3 Leg Torso, returns to Lane County after playing June 10 at Sam Bond's. This time, the chamber pop group will make its Cottage Grove debut Wednesday at the Axe and Fiddle.
