From NYTimes.com:
DUAL IDENTITY (Sunday) The alto saxophonists Rudresh Mahanthappa and Steve Lehman travel roughly the same orbit in jazz’s progressive solar system, and as the name of this quintet implies, their aesthetic kinship runs deep. This is the release party for a self-titled debut for the group, now out on the Clean Feed label. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Jazz Gallery, 290 Hudson Street, at Spring Street, South Village , (212) 242-1063, jazzgallery.org; $20, members $10. (Chinen)
TOMAS FUJIWARA AND TAYLOR HO BYNUM (Thursday) Mr. Bynum, a cornetist, and Mr. Fujiwara, a drummer, engage in a duologue crackling with improvisational energy but guided by compositional prescription. They have an estimable new album – “Stepwise” (NotTwo Records), their second release as a duo – from which they’ll draw here. At 10 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village , thestonenyc.com; $10. (Chinen)
MALABY, MOTIAN, SANCHEZ, MONDER (Friday) Tony Malaby is a tenor and soprano saxophonist equally capable of focused tension and wild abandon. He’ll be free to take it in any direction he wants with this collective, featuring Paul Motian, a masterly drummer; Ben Monder, a fluidly articulate guitarist; and Angelica Sanchez, a restive pianist (and Mr. Malaby’s partner by marriage). At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, West Village , (212) 989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $20 cover, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)
