Jazz Listings From The New York Times

From NYTimes.com:

The Bad Plus (Tuesday through April 27) The Bad Plus, which has earned high praise for its audacious recasting of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring,” takes the concept of band unity to an extreme rarely encountered in jazz. Its lineup — Reid Anderson on bass, Ethan Iverson on piano, David King on drums — can deliver a vicious gut punch in one moment and turn delicate as a snowflake in the next, always with a spirit of brave expedition. At 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., Jazz Standard, 116 East 27th Street, Manhattan, 212-576-2232, jazzstandard.net; $30. (Chinen)

Lucian Ban, Mat Maneri and Tony Malaby (Friday) The pianist Lucian Ban and the violist Mat Maneri have an established rapport — last year they released a lovely and restive duo album, “Transylvanian Concert” — that is sure to form a centerpiece of this concert. But they’ll also perform in a trio with the tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby, and Mr. Malaby and Mr. Ban will venture out into their own form of duologue. At 7:30 p.m., Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, West Village, 212-242-4770, greenwichhouse.org; $20, $15 for students. (Chinen)

Made to Break (Wednesday) At the crux of this experimental ensemble, largely out of Chicago, is a pliably inquisitive bond between the multireedist Ken Vandermark and the electronics artist Christof Kurzmann. With Nate Wooley on trumpet and effects, Devin Hoff on bass and Tim Daisy on drums, it’s a group that explores free-form improvisation alongside compositional ideas descended from the likes of Stockhausen, Sun Ra and electric-period Miles Davis. At 10:30 p.m., Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, near Thompson Street, Greenwich Village, 212-505-3474, lepoissonrouge.com; $15, free for members. (Chinen)

Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom (Friday) Allison Miller, a drummer of propulsive adaptability, leads a slightly modified version of her dynamic Boom Tic Boom band, featuring the pianist Matt Mitchell, the cornetist Kirk Knuffke and the bassist Chris Lightcap. Joining intermittently on vocals, as on the recent album “No Morphine No Lilies,” is Rachel Friedman. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $10 cover, with a $10 minimum. (Chinen)

Paloma Xtra (Saturday) Paloma Recio, a vigorous working band led by the tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby, explores shadowy post-bop terrain with the subtlest of Spanish accents. As the title of this one-nighter suggests, Mr. Malaby has convened a special edition of the group; it has Ben Gerstein on trombone, Ben Monder on guitar, Eivind Opsvik on bass, and Dan Weiss and Billy Mintz on drums. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $10 cover, with a $10 minimum. (Chinen)

David Torn and Tim Berne (Friday) Mr. Torn is a guitarist and producer with a wizardly gift for abstract landscapes, and in his work with Mr. Berne, the alto saxophonist and composer, he has managed to keep finding new angles of attack. Their duo kicks off a guitar-centric new series, Six String Summit, in the tap room at a brewery in Queens. An opening set, at 8 p.m., will feature the guitarist Mike Baggetta with his quartet. At 9:30 p.m., Singlecut Beersmiths, 19-33 37th St, Astoria, Queens, 718-606-0788, singlecutbeer.com; $10 cover. (Chinen)

Tri-Centric Music Festival (through Saturday) The Tri-Centric Foundation, organized around the music of the irrepressible avant-garde composer and multireedist Anthony Braxton, closes its sprawling festival at Roulette in Brooklyn with the semi-staged premiere of “Trillium J (The Non-Unconfessionables),” his new opera. The performances on Friday and Saturday nights will feature Acts 3 and 4; a Saturday matinee will cover Acts 1 and 2. A full schedule is at tricentricfoundation.org. Roulette, 509 Atlantic Avenue, near Third Avenue, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, 917-267-0363, roulette.org; $30, $25 for students. (Chinen)

David Virelles Continuum (Sunday) A freethinking young Cuban pianist, David Virelles draws partly here from his 2012 album, “Continuum,” an ever-shifting amalgam of ancient folklore and avant-garde protocol. But where the album featured saxophone and percussion, Mr. Virelles strips down to a trio, with Dezron Douglas on bass and Eric McPherson on drums. At 7:30 p.m., Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, West Village, 212-242-4770, greenwichhouse.org; $15, $12 for students. (Chinen)
