Jazz Listings from the New York Times

Jazz in New York this week, from the Times:

★ DARCY JAMES ARGUE’S SECRET SOCIETY (Thursday) Led by the serious-minded jazz composer (and indefatigable jazz blogger) Darcy James Argue, this powerful and well-stocked ensemble juxtaposes postwar big-band conventions with ideas borrowed from indie rock, classical Minimalism and a handful of other idiomatic regions. The results are well worth hearing. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Jazz Gallery, 290 Hudson Street, at Spring Street, South Village, (212) 242-1063, jazzgallery.org; cover, $12, $10 for members. (Chinen)

LOUIE BELOGENIS TRIO (Friday) The tenor saxophonist Louie Belogenis is at his best freely improvising with creative partners like the bassist Eivind Opsvik and the drummer Harris Eisenstadt, who join him for a concert in his continuing series. At 8 p.m., SPACE Gallery, 207A Front Street, at Beekman Street, Lower Manhattan, (212) 393-9191, seaportdistrict.org; suggested donation, $10. (Chinen)

CURHA-CHESTRA/TED REICHMAN (Saturday) Curtis Hasselbring, a mischievous trombonist, leads an experimental band that includes Brandon Seabrook on banjo and guitar and Mike Pride on drums. After that, at 10, the pianist and accordionist Ted Reichman performs unaccompanied, striking a balance between freedom and form. At 8 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

E.S.T. (Friday through Sunday) The initials stand for Esbjörn Svensson Trio, a popular acoustic jazz-crossover group from Sweden; taking its lead from Mr. Svensson’s piano, the ensemble favors somber harmonies and skittering electronic textures. At 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., with and 11:30 set Friday and Saturday night, Jazz Standard, 116 East 27th Street, Manhattan, (212) 576-2232, jazzstandard.net; cover, $30, $25 on Sunday. (Chinen)

FAB TRIO (Friday and Saturday) FAB stands for Fonda- Altschul-Bang, which in turn stands for the bassist Joe Fonda, the drummer Barry Altschul and the violinist Billy Bang. As a collective, these three distinguished avant-gardists have released one potent album, “Transforming the Space” (CIMP), that probably only hints at the depth of their interaction here. At 8, 10 p.m. and midnight, Sweet Rhythm, 88 Seventh Avenue South, at Bleecker Street, West Village, (212) 255-3626, sweetrhythmny.com; cover, $25, with a $10 minimum. (Chinen)

FESTIVAL OF NEW TRUMPET MUSIC (Friday through Sunday) This diverse yet focused series concludes with a succession of trumpet-and-electronics performances at St. Mark’s Church on the Bowery (Friday); ensembles featuring the trumpeters Taylor Haskins and Eli Asher, at Cornelia Street Café (Saturday); and concert performances on the Lower East Side (Sunday). Various times and locations, fontmusic.org. (Chinen)

★ KNEEBODY (Monday and Thursday) This audacious jazz-rock-funk band makes the most of its hybrids, often savoring the crunch of collision. Its sophomore studio release, “Low Electrical Worker” (Colortone Media), charts a still-deepening bond between Shane Endsley on trumpet and electronics, Ben Wendel on saxophones, Adam Benjamin on keyboards, Kaveh Rastegar on bass and Nate Wood on drums. Monday at 8 p.m., Tea Lounge, 837 Union Street, near Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 789-2762, tealoungeny.com; suggested cover, $5. Thursday at 10 p.m., 55 Bar, 55 Christopher Street, West Village, (212) 929-9883, 55bar.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

MICHAEL MUSILLAMI TRIO WITH MARK FELDMAN (Wednesday) “The Treatment” (Playscape), released this week, finds the adventurous guitarist Michael Musillami augmenting his working trio with Mark Feldman, a sharply expressive violinist. The same crew reconvenes here, and the outcome is promising. At 10 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, West Village, (212) 989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; cover, $10, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)

NIGHT OF THE RAVISHED LIMBS (Wednesday) In the first set of this progressive Park Slope series, the trombonist Reut Regev leads a muscular quartet called R*time; then the trumpeter Ted Daniel presents his wryly named International Brass and Membrane Corporation. At 8 p.m., Barbès, 376 Ninth Street, at Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 965-9177, barbesbrooklyn.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

TRIPLE DUTCH UNIT (Sunday) The pianist Gary Versace, the bassist John Hebert and the drummer John Hollenbeck are the members of this collective, which pursues an experimental ethos invested with grit and soul. At 10 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)
