Barry Altschul and the 3dom Factor (Saturday) Mr. Altschul, a drummer of deep experience in the post-1960s avant-garde, has a new album, “Tales of the Unforeseen,” with the excellent trio he calls 3dom Factor. Featuring the saxophonist Jon Irabagon and the bassist Joe Fonda, it’s a tough, elastic band that moves in and out of phase. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village; 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com. (Nate Chinen)
Coltrane Revisited (through Saturday) Timed to coincide with would have been John Coltrane’s 89th birthday (he was born on Sept. 23, 1926), the pianist Steve Kuhn — one of Coltrane’s sidemen, however briefly — assembles a respectful cast. Eric Alexander stands in Coltrane’s instrument, tenor saxophone; the rhythm section has Lonnie Plaxico on bass and Steve Smith on drums. At 8:30 and 11 p.m., Birdland, 315 West 44th Street, Clinton, 212-581-3080, birdlandjazz.com. (Chinen)

Festival of New Trumpet Music (through Tuesday) This annual hornucopia shines a light on new works by or for trumpeters, with an nonrestrictive relationship to genre. Highlights include “Signatures in Brass,” a showcase organized by the ascendant postbop trumpeter Marquis Hill (Saturday at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. at the Jazz Gallery, 1160 Broadway, fifth floor); two nights of a series called “Visionaries,” featuring avant-garde upstarts like Jaimie Branch (Sunday and Monday from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Downtown Music Gallery, 13 Monroe Street); and a concert honoring the veteran trumpeter-bandleader Eddie Henderson, featuring his band and some homage-paying guests (Tuesday at 8 p.m., the New School, 55 West 13th Street).

Ingrid Laubrock: Ubatuba (Friday) Ms. Laubrock is a tenor saxophonist drawn to dynamic tension, and in this band — its name, also the title of a new album, would seem to be a nod to its tuba player, Dan Peck — she has strong partners for her agenda. Along with Mr. Peck, they are Tim Berne on alto saxophone, Ben Gerstein on trombone and her husband, Tom Rainey, on drums. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com. (Chinen)
Trio 3 (Tuesday through Thursday) The alto saxophonist Oliver Lake, the bassist Reggie Workman and the drummer Andrew Cyrille hail from the same broad-minded jazz generation and share an agenda of rugged epiphany. Trio 3, as they call their superhero collective, has regularly expanded its ranks to include a notable pianist, like the three appearing in turns during this run: Ethan Iverson (Tuesday), Vijay Iyer (Wednesday) and Jason Moran (Thursday). At 8 and 10:30 p.m., Blue Note, 131 West Third Street, Greenwich Village, 212-475-8592, bluenote.net. (Chinen)
