Jamie Baum Septet + (Friday) The flutist Jamie Baum favors an orderly approach to composition but clears ample space for improvisation.

At 8 and 10 p.m., the Jazz Gallery, 1160 Broadway, fifth floor, at West 27th Street, 646-494-3625, jazzgallery.org; $22, $12 for members. (Chinen)

Peter Bernstein Quartet (Tuesday through Thursday) The astute hard-bop guitarist Peter Bernstein can always be trusted in a quartet setting, and this one features extremely capable partners: the pianist Sam Yahel, the bassist Omer Avital and the drummer Billy Drummond. From 9:30 p.m. to midnight, Smalls Jazz Club, 183 West 10th Street, West Village, smallsjazzclub.com; $20. (Chinen)

Harris Eisenstadt’s Golden State (Friday) A venturesome drummer and composer, Mr. Eisenstadt likes to walk the line between free-form exploration and meticulous composition. He leads this texture-rich new ensemble — with the clarinetist Chris Speed, the bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck and the bassist Pascal Niggenkemper — in advance of a European tour, playing music from a forthcoming album. At 8 p.m., IBeam, 168 Seventh Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn, ibeambrooklyn.com; $15 suggested donation. (Chinen)

Oliver Lake at the Stone (through Sunday) Oliver Lake, a multireedist and composer with acres of experience in the self-sustaining avant-garde, is just the right sort of elder to encounter the Stone, where he has been in residence this week. Among the remaining highlights: his octet, “Flow,” on Friday at 8 and 10 p.m.; his organ quartet on Saturday, playing an 8 p.m. set alone and a 10 p.m. set with the saxophonist Billy Harper; and a set with the Flux String Quartet, on Sunday at 8 p.m. Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; $15 per set, $10 for students.

Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas Quintet: Sound Prints (through Sunday) The saxophonist Joe Lovano and the trumpeter Dave Douglas share a bustling, approachable vision of jazz, geared toward expedition while grounded in post-bop custom. Sound Prints — their well-traveled quintet with the pianist Lawrence Fields, the bassist Linda Oh and the drummer Joey Baron — has an album due out on Blue Note next year, which should provide much of the material for this engagement. At 8:30 and 10:30 p.m., Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, 212-255-4037, villagevanguard.com; $25 and $30 cover, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)

Paradoxical Frog (Sunday) “Union,” released in 2012, was a fitting title for the second album by this fearless experimental trio, which interrogates compositions by all three members — the pianist Kris Davis, the saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and the drummer Tyshawn Sorey. The group performs as part of the Sound It Out series. At 7:30 p.m., Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, West Village, 212-242-4770, greenwichhouse.org; $15, $12 for students. (Chinen)

Tamarindo Trio (Friday and Saturday) The tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby has earned a reputation as one of New York’s stalwart improvisers, through a host of sideman appointments and some rigorously rewarding albums. His Tamarindo Trio is a free-form outfit that recently released its third album, “Somos Agua”; its lineup features the drummer Nasheet Waits and the bassist William Parker, but for this two-night stand he’ll have Michael Formanek on bass (a worthy substitute). 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)
