Jazz Listings from the New York Times

Upcoming jazz in New York:

GERALD CLEAVER TRIO (Sunday) Dealing less in rhythm than in pulse, Gerald Cleaver’s drumming perfectly suits the fluid requirements of jazz’s post-everything avant-garde.

At 8 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

HUBERT DUPONT WITH RUDRESH MAHANTHAPPA (Saturday and Sunday) Hubert Dupont, a French bassist best known in these parts as a member of the band Kartet, has an engrossing new album called “Spider’s Dance” (Ultrabolic) featuring not only his trio with the pianist Yvan Robilliard and the drummer Chander Sardjoe, but also the American-born alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa. The group stops here at the tail end of an East Coast mini-tour.

ALAN FERBER NONET WITH STRINGS (Sunday) “The Compass” (Fresh Sound New Talent), a recent album by the trombonist Alan Ferber, strengthens his stature as a composer and arranger: It’s an ambitious effort carried out with simple clarity by this working band, which performs here with an additional cohort of strings.

★ FIELDWORK (Tuesday through Thursday) A collaborative threesome that throws down a gauntlet of jagged melodies and asymmetrical rhythmic forms; the heart of its sound is an ever-shifting rapport between the pianist Vijay Iyer, the saxophonist Steve Lehman and the drummer Tyshawn Sorey. At 10 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

FREESTYLE JAZZ (Sunday) This installment of the experimental series features two trios led by trombonists.

JASON KAO HWANG (Saturday ) Mr. Hwang, a probing violinist and composer, recently released “Edge” (Asian Improv), an album chronicling his free-ranging rapport with the cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, the bassist Ken Filiano and the drummer Andrew Drury. He pursues a similar aim here, with one substitution: the appealingly blustery trombonist Steve Swell, sitting in for Mr. Bynum. At 10:30 p.m., the Living Theater, 21 Clinton Street, just below Houston Street, Lower East Side, (212) 696-6681, visionfestival.org; $10. (Chinen)

SUSIE IBARRA AND ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ (Friday) Ms. Ibarra is a drummer with a passion for texture and abstraction, and a composer committed to the idea of cultural exchange. “Electric Kulintang,” her percussive collaboration with Mr. Rodriguez, adds a stylish contemporary sheen to the chiming kulintang music of the Philippines. At 8 p.m., Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street, at Pitt Street, Lower East Side, (212) 598-0400, henrystreet.org/arts; $12.

KONCEPTIONS AT BISCUIT (Tuesday) Konceptions, the weekly Park Slope series organized by the keyboardist James Carney, recently set up shop at Biscuit BBQ. A pair of good working bands appear this week: one led by the alto saxophonist Michaël Attias, who has his own series in the area (see Night of the Ravished Limbs, below); and then one led by the guitarist Ben Monder. At 8:30 and 9:45 p.m., Biscuit BBQ, 230 Fifth Avenue, at President Street, Brooklyn, (718) 399-2161; cover, $5, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)

A later set will feature a group led by the pianist James Carney, which suggests some congenial quid pro quo. (See Konceptions at Biscuit, above.) At 8 and 10 p.m., Barbès, 376 Ninth Street, at Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 965-9177, barbesbrooklyn.com; cover, $8. (Chinen)

★ WILLIAM PARKER (Sunday) The bassist William Parker is a pillar, musically and morally, of avant-garde jazz culture; here he presents three new compositions, each with a literary component. “On Being Native” features a string quartet, while “Triangles of Light” adds clarinet and shakuhachi (a Japanese flute, played by Mr. Parker), as well as dancers. The third piece, for Mr. Parker’s Introscopic Music Ensemble, incorporates the poetry of David Budbill and the singing of Leena Conquest. At 4 p.m., Nativity Church, 44 Second Avenue, near Second Street, East Village, (212) 696-6681, visionfestival.org; contribution, $15. (Chinen)

ANGELICA SANCHEZ QUINTET (Wednesday) As a pianist and composer, Angelica Sanchez seeks out the lyrical heartbeat within each turbulent storm. Her quintet is ready for any sort of contortion; in addition to the tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby, it includes Marc Ducret on guitar, Drew Gress on bass and Tom Rainey on drums. At 8 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

JENNY SCHEINMAN (Tuesday) Ms. Scheinman is that rare jazz violinist who embraces her instrument’s folksier side without making concessions to genre. She performs here with two frequent foils, the guitarist Adam Levy and the clarinetist Doug Weiselman. At 7 p.m., Barbès, 376 Ninth Street, at Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 965-9177, barbesbrooklyn.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)
