Roy Nathanson at the Stone (Tuesday through June 7) Mr. Nathanson, an alto saxophonist, bandleader, composer and poet, brings a characteristic breadth and whimsy to his residency at the Stone. His best-known band, the Jazz Passengers, will make an appearance at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, and he’ll tangle with kindred souls like the guitarist Marc Ribot, in both the 8 and 10 p.m. sets on Wednesday. His 8 p.m. set on Thursday will be a duo with the pianist Myra Melford; at 10 p.m. he’ll appear as a sideman in Still Out to Lunch, a band led by the trumpeter Russ Johnson. At Avenue C and Second Street, thestonenyc.com. (Chinen)
Matana Roberts: ‘Coin Coin: the Remix’ (Friday and Saturday) Earlier this year Ms. Roberts, an alto saxophonist and composer of exploratory intent, released “Coin Coin Chapter 3: River Run Thee,” the latest installment of a 12-part cycle of personal, socio-historical and psychic inquisition. She made the album alone, layering vocal and instrumental parts with multitrack recording; for this performance, billed as a remix, she’ll enlist the drummer Tomas Fujiwara and a video piece by Daniel Marcellus Givens. At 8 p.m., the Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street, Chelsea, 212-255-5793, thekitchen.org. (Chinen)
Jesse Stacken Quartet (Thursday) Mr. Stacken is a pianist of rigorous imagination, as he demonstrates on his most recent album, “Helleborus.” He plays a 9:30 p.m. set here with the tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby, the bassist Sean Conly and the drummer Gerald Cleaver. An earlier set, at 8 p.m., will feature Vinnie Sperrazza Trio, with Jacob Sacks on piano, Masa Kamaguchi on bass and Mr. Sperrazza on drums. At Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com. (Chinen)
