From one dynamic duo to another

Boston can take some credit for launching the careers of New Jersey native Dwight Ritcher and Brooklyn-raised Nicole Nelson. After all, the two spent years in our city fronting bands and making records before they teamed up a few years ago in New York to become Dwight & Nicole. Tonight at the Regattabar, the soulful duo pays tribute to Ray Charles and Betty Carter with a playlist that includes "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "People Will Say We're in Love." 7:30 and 10 p.m. $18. Regattabar, Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett St., Harvard Square, Cambridge. 617-395-7757. regattabarjazz.com
