Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go … to Mint Museum Uptown for its Let’s Get Reel music and movies series? In case you hadn’t heard, the museum hosts this special event — featuring live music and a movie — on the second Tuesday of every month (so it’ll go down again on April 12). This week, Charlotte bassist Ron Brendle will perform a mix of jazzy jingles and the 1948 action-packed flick Key Largo, starring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson and Lauren Bacall, will be screened. Set in a hotel heated with violent Cuban gangsters, an ex-Major from World War II must continue further acts of heroism. In the meantime, the extra threat of a hurricane on the rise takes the drama up a notch. Free live music at 6 p.m. $5 movie admission at 7 p.m. Mint Museum Uptown, 500 S. Tryon St. 704-337-2000. www.mintmuseum.org.
