From NYTimes.com:
Jaga Jazzist (Sunday) Twitchy but earnest, with a deep investment in electronic texture, this nine-piece Norwegian band doesn’t often make its way here, making this a noteworthy occasion right out of the gate. The group, which includes shrewd improvisers like the saxophonist-guitarist-keyboardist Lars Horntveth and the trumpeter-bassist-vibraphonist Mathias Eick, has a new EP, “Bananfluer Overalt,” due out on Ninja Tune this month. At 7 p.m., Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, near Thompson Street, Greenwich Village, (212) 505-3474, lepoissonrouge.com; $20. (Chinen)
Eri Yamamoto Trio (Sunday) “In Each Day, Something Good” (Aum Fidelity) is the most recent album from the pianist Eri Yamamoto, who based its reflective themes on a silent film by Yasujiro Ozu. Her sympathetic partners, here as on the album, are the bassist David Ambrosio and the drummer Ikuo Takeuchi. At 8:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, (212) 989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $10 cover, with a $10 minimum. (Chinen)
