DAYMÉ AROCENA at Le Poisson Rouge (Nov. 16, 7:30 p.m.). On “Sonocardiogram,” Arocena’s newest album, the husky-voiced young singer and composer yokes the folkloric melodies and rhythms of her native Cuba into a richly textured, contemporary context, adorning them with digital sounds and subtle funk grooves. Her meditative lyrics contemplate issues of family, heritage and faith; at her heavily interactive concerts, even non-Spanish speakers often find themselves driven to sing along.

GEORGE CABLES TRIO at Mezzrow (Nov. 14-16, 7:30 and 9 p.m.). Cables, who just turned 75, stands as one of the last standard-bearers of the classic post-bop piano tradition. As sensitive as he is dynamic, he plays in a gently articulated but deeply rhythmic style, unifying the influences of his two main idols, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk. At Mezzrow he will be joined on Thursday and Friday by the bassist Essiet Okon Essiet and the drummer Victor Lewis, and on Saturday by Lewis and the bassist Ed Howard.

DOUGLAS R. EWART/ADEGOKE STEVE COLSON DUO AND OLIVER LAKE ORGAN QUARTET at Symphony Space (Nov. 15, 8 p.m.). The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, among the most influential musician-run organizations in American history, is now in its 54th year. Its New York chapter, which has been around since 1983, presents a series of concerts each fall, and this year’s season comes to a close with this show: a double bill featuring one set from Ewart, a multi-instrumentalist and global musical explorer, in duet with Colson, a pianist; and one from the organ quartet led by Lake, an avant-garde alto saxophone luminary. That band includes Jared Gold on organ, Freddie Hendrix on trumpet and Pheeroan akLaff on drums.

MATANA ROBERTS at Roulette (Nov. 17, 8 p.m.). Roberts is an alto saxophonist, electronic musician and multimedia artist who is now four albums into a planned 12-record exploration of her family’s lore, one that merges improvised music with anthropological inquiry and speculative history. Each album in the continuing “Coin Coin” suite has a different sonic identity, but they are typically characterized by a mix of spoken word (often from the perspective of Roberts’s relatives), free jazz and hauntingly beautiful, repetitious melodies. Last month she released “Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis,” and she will draw upon that disc’s material in this concert, where she’ll be joined by the multi-instrumentalist Hannah Marcus, the percussionist Ryan Sawyer, the trumpeter and reeds player Matt Lavelle and the guitarist and vocalist Kyp Malone.

CHUCHO VALDÉS WITH CHICK COREA at the Rose Theater (Nov. 15-16, 8 p.m.). A son of Bebo Valdés, one the most popular Cuban bandleaders from the mid-20th century, the pianist Chucho Valdés first came to prominence in his own right in the 1970s with Irakere, a band that fused Afro-Caribbean tradition with American rock and jazz. In recent decades he has become known as a dean of Cuban pianism, typically working in more traditional and Latin jazz-oriented styles. At Jazz at Lincoln Center’s main stage this weekend, Valdés will begin each night with a set of solo piano, followed by one in duet with Corea, an eminent American jazz pianist.

BRANDEE YOUNGER at the Miller Theater (Nov. 16, 8 p.m.). Over the past 10 years, Younger has almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harp’s role in contemporary jazz. She draws from the crisply rhythmic style of Dorothy Ashby and the immersive, swirling sound of Alice Coltrane — the jazz harp’s towering historical figures — but also uses a hip-hop mentality to think about how different instruments can come together in a hypnotic groove. At this concert she’s likely to draw from her latest album, the impressive “Soul Awakening.” Her band will feature Chelsea Baratz on saxophone, Anne Drummond on flute, Dezron Douglas on bass and E. J. Strickland on drums.
