Vijay Iyer Trio (Tuesday through April 14) The pianist and composer Vijay Iyer just released “Accelerando” (Act), the second album featuring his superb trio with the nimble but grounded bassist Stephan Crump and the magically propulsive drummer Marcus Gilmore. Already the subject of much praise in these pages and elsewhere, the album seems likely to spark an even more dynamic interplay in person, during this album-release engagement.

Kneebody (Wednesday through April 14) This quick-change electro-acoustic chamber ensemble is taking up a four-night residency next week courtesy of the indie promoter Search and Restore, presenting a different concept each night. On Wednesday the band will play the music of the Brazilian pop mischief-maker Tom Zé, with help from Gretchen Parlato on vocals and Mark Giuliana on drums; on Thursday the songs will be by the singer-songwriter Judee Sill, with an as-yet-unannounced guest vocalist. At 9 p.m., Littlefield, 622 Degraw Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues, Gowanus, Brooklyn, littlefieldnyc.com; $15, or $12 for students. (Chinen)

Adam Rudolph: Go Organic Orchestra (Monday) This sprawling, meditative large ensemble, scheduled to perform at Roulette every Monday night in April, is a project of the open-minded percussionist, composer and conductor Adam Rudolph.

Craig Taborn Trio (Friday through Sunday) Last year Craig Taborn, a busy sideman in New York’s left-of-center jazz vector, released his solo-piano debut, “Avenging Angel” (ECM), a brilliant and unpredictable study informed by contemporary classical music as well as several currents of improvisation. This weekend he closes out his first-ever engagement with a trio at the Village Vanguard, working alongside two intuitive partners, the bassist Thomas Morgan and the drummer Gerald Cleaver. 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)

Trio M (Saturday) The pianist Myra Melford, the bassist Mark Dresser and the drummer Matt Wilson make up Trio M, a collective with a clear bead on the free jazz legacy of the 1960s. But “The Guest House” (Yellowbird/Enja), the group’s excellent second album, doesn’t feel tethered to any era or dialect: with compositions by all three members, it’s a crisp, engaging ride, variously roiling or reflective, with high-wire interplay at almost every turn. At 8 and 10 p.m., Kitano Hotel, 66 Park Avenue at 38th Street, (212) 885-7119, kitano.com; $25 cover, with a $15 minimum. (Chinen)

Eri Yamamoto Trio (Tuesday) The pianist Eri Yamamoto weighs exploratory instincts against a reflective temperament, and her trio, with David Ambrosio on bass and Ikuo Takeuchi on drums, supports her at every turn. She’s celebrating the release of “The Next Page” (AUM Fidelity), her fourth album with these partners and her seventh with Mr. Takeuchi. At 8:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, West Village, (212) 989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $20 cover, includes one drink. (Chinen)
