Jazz in Manhattan

Undead Jazzfest
(Thursday) The messiest, most thrillingly unpredictable of our summer jazz festivals has expanded to Brooklyn this year, but first comes this opening night, centered around the usual three clubs in a tight radius of Greenwich Village. At Le Poisson Rouge, highlights include Tarbaby (at 9:30 p.m.) and David Torn's Goldfinger (12:50 a.m.); across Bleecker Street at Kenny's Castaways, look for Harris Eisenstadt's Canada Day (7:40 p.m.) and a trio with Michael Blake on saxophones, Ben Allison on bass and Rudy Royston on drums (12:20 a.m.). Or stake out Sullivan Hall, which has the most consistently rewarding lineup, including sets by Paradoxical Frog (8:30 p.m.), the pianist Gerald Clayton (9:40 p.m.) and the Andrew D'Angelo Big Band (10:50 p.m.). After Thursday, the festival moves to Brooklyn; for a full schedule, see undeadjazz.com.
