Jazz Listings From The New York Times

From the Times:

THE BROOKLYN EXPERIMENTS (Sunday) This continuing series spotlights two good working bands here, each falling slightly to the left of center. Starting at 8:30 p.m. is a group led by the bassist Chris Tarry, and featuring reliable sparks from the alto saxophonist David Binney. Then at 10, the Execution Quintet, led by the trombonist Josh Roseman, takes advantage of some smart cohesion between the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, the alto saxophonist Myron Walden, the multireedist Peter Apfelbaum (playing organ here), and the drummer Rudy Royston. At Rose Live Music, 345 Grand Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, (718) 599-0069, liveatrose.com; no cover. (Chinen)HOLLY COLE (Wednesday and Thursday) Ms. Cole is the sort of jazz chanteuse who coyly evokes an image of curling smoke and shadows, but she has solid musical footing. She draws here from a recent self-titled album, which she produced with the bassist Greg Cohen. At 8 and 10:30 p.m., Blue Note, 131 West Third Street, West Village, (212) 475-8592, bluenote.net; cover, $25 at tables, $15 at the bar, with a $5 minimum. (Chinen).

OLIVER LAKE BIG BAND (Friday) Oliver Lake, a well-traveled alto saxophonist with a robust and piercing sound, features his own music for this large ensemble, with help from strong improvisers like the multireedist Marty Erhlich, the trumpeter Peck Allmond and the trombonist Craig Harris. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Jazz Gallery, 290 Hudson Street, at Spring Street, South Village, (212) 242-1063, jazzgallery.org; cover, $15; $10 for members. (Chinen)

TONY MALABY AND PALOMA RECIO (Saturday) The versatile tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby brings a Spanish tinge to this working band with the guitarist Ben Monder, the bassist Eivind Opsvik and the drummer Nasheet Waits. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Jazz Gallery, 290 Hudson Street, at Spring Street, South Village, (212) 242-1063, jazzgallery.org; cover, $15; $10 for members. (Chinen)

Jazz Listings from the New York Times

In the Times:

IN THE SPIRIT OF DON CHERRY (Friday) Don Cherry, who died in 1995, was one of the most broadminded trumpeters in jazz, an early champion of both free improvisation and the commingling of global folk forms. In this tribute the spark of his compositions falls to an ensemble that includes the cornetist Graham Haynes, the tuba player Bob Stewart, the multireedist Peter Apfelbaum and the bassist Mark Helias; some of the works will receive vocal performances, with lyrics by Ingrid Sertso. At 7:30 p.m., Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway, at 95th Street, (212) 864-5400, symphonyspace.org; $30; $25 for students and children; $20 for members. (Chinen)

GERALD CLEAVER, WILLIAM PARKER, CRAIG TABORN (Friday) On their deeply restrained new album — “Farmers By Nature” (Aum Fidelity), recorded live at the Stone last year — these three musicians interrogate one another with patience and poise. Mr. Cleaver, a drummer, and Mr. Parker, a bassist, both resist the easy pull of tempo; Mr. Taborn, on piano, filters every melodic urge through a fractured prism. At 8 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

FREESTYLE MUSIC SERIES (Wednesday) This avant-garde concert series, which has cycled through a few locations in recent years, settles for the moment at Cake Shop, one Wednesday night a month. Its first new installment includes the Hanuman Sextet, which includes the saxophonist Andy Haas (at 9 p.m.); the bumptious electro-acoustic bands Sediment Club (at 9:45) and Brown Wing Overdrive (at 10:30); and Mostly Others Do the Killing, a crackling free-bop quartet led by the bassist Moppa Elliott (at 11). At Cake Shop, 152 Ludlow Street, near Stanton Street, Lower East Side, (212) 253-0036, cake-shop.com; $8. (Chinen)

VIJAY IYER TRIO (Sunday) A pianist-composer given to restive energies and rhythmic conundrums, Mr. Iyer leads his responsively supple trio, with Stephan Crump on bass and Marcus Gilmore on drums At 10 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)
