From NYTimes.com:
Evolving Voice & Music (Monday) This weekly avant-garde series features four different ensembles, performing roughly on the hour, starting at 7 p.m. with a free improvisation by the vocalists Jen Shyu and Lorin Benedict and the multireedist Oscar Noriega. Ms. Benedict stays on at 8 for a duo set with the guitarist Eric Vogler. (They’re calling themselves Bleeding Vector.) At 9 the baritone saxophonist Josh Sinton leads his fine band Ideal Bread, a quartet devoted to the music of Steve Lacy; wrapping things up at 10 is the Joachim Badenhorst Trio, featuring Mr. Badenhorst on reeds, Steve Swell on trombone and Ziv Ravitz on drums. The Local 269, 269 East Houston Street, at Suffolk Street, Lower East Side , thelocal269.com; myspace.com/rucmanyc; $10 per set, $15 for two sets, $20 for the night; students get $3 off. (Chinen)
Paul Motian, Mark Turner, Tony Malaby, Bill Frisell (Friday through Sunday) One of the great rites of summer in New York is the annual two-week Village Vanguard engagement by Mr. Motian, a slippery drummer; Mr. Frisell, a shadowy guitarist; and Joe Lovano, a gruff-meets-gentle tenor saxophonist. This year there’s a wrinkle: that all-star trio will headline at the club next week (starting Tuesday), but first comes this less familiar aggregation. Like Mr. Lovano, Mr. Malaby and Mr. Turner are tenor and soprano saxophonists, but each has his own irrefutable style, respectively suggesting earth and air. At 9 and 11 p.m., Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village , (212) 255-4037, villagevanguard.com; $25 cover, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)
