TONY MIDDLETON AT ROXY BAR Over nearly 70 years, this singer’s resonant baritone has taken him from doo-wop to Broadway to collaborations with top pop and R&B tunesmiths like Burt Bacharach and Smokey Robinson. Now a cabaret regular, Tony Middleton will stop by the Roxy Bar on Sept. 21. The jazz outfit the Café Society plays there on Sept. 20 , and the Habibi Kings — featuring the supple-voiced Mardie Millit, the pianist Michael Garin, the Israeli-born violinist Samir Shukry and the native Egyptian percussionist Ossama Farouk — perform on Sept. 27. — E.G.

THURSTON MOORE While his indie-rock solo albums have gotten attention since the 2011 dissolution of Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore has quietly been doing masterful work in the avant-garde sphere; the three-CD “Spirit Counsel” puts his experimental visions in the driver’s seat. Two long-form ensemble pieces recall My Bloody Valentine’s noisier and more suffocating moments; the guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca; and the shimmering swirl of ’90s U.K. noise bands. The album’s lone solo guitar piece, “8 Spring Street,” is Moore’s homage to Branca, who died last year. (The Daydream Library Series; Sept. 21.) — C.W.

REEVE CARNEY AT THE GREEN ROOM 42 The singer, songwriter and musical leading man survived “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark” to rise again in “Hadestown.” He’s also become a favorite at the Green Room 42, where on Sept. 22, Oct. 6 and Oct. 20 he’ll deliver tunes from his album “Youth Is Wasted,” along with Broadway and American songbook selections. Carney’s “Hadestown” co-star Eva Noblezada presents “Ballad of a Broadway Twenty-Something” on Sept. 15, Oct. 13 and Oct. 27; others set to appear include the wily English import Frances Ruffelle in “Live(s) in New York” (Oct. 20 and Nov. 23); and, just in time for the holidays, Paige Turner, the host of show “So You Think You Can Drag,” in “Jingle All the Way!” (Dec. 6, 13 and 19), featuring yuletide tunes and parodies. — E.G.

JON BATISTE AT CAFE CARLYLE The “Late Show” bandleader and scion of New Orleans jazz royalty will make his Café Carlyle debut starting Sept. 24, performing songs from his T Bone Burnett-produced collection of diverse American classics, “Hollywood Africans,” and other material. The soul singer Bettye LaVette returns to the Carlyle (Oct. 10-12), and the actress and singer Mare Winningham will follow (Oct. 29-Nov. 2), along with partners in music and marriage: John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey (Nov. 5-16); and Herb Alpert and Lani Hall (Nov. 19-30). The songbook champion Steve Tyrell marks his 15th anniversary in the holiday slot (Dec. 3-31). — E.G.

STEVE LEHMAN AT JAZZ STANDARD “The People I Love” might seem like an unsuitably approachable title for a record by the cerebral saxophonist Steve Lehman — and to some extent, it is. But this album, released in August, finds him comfortably situated in a classic acoustic quartet, dialing into a subtle sense of swing. Sometimes, his compositions get stuck on a single chord, the rhythm section dancing in place, while elsewhere he bleats and burns through a swift run of changes; throughout, he’s focused on keeping melody and rhythm intertwined. Lehman celebrates the album’s release with a two-night run , Sept. 24-25, at Jazz Standard, joined by the excellent band from the recording: Craig Taborn on piano, Matt Brewer on bass and Damion Reid on drums. — G.R.

THE BEATLES Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Paul McCartney’s “death,” the final album recorded by all four Beatles receives new stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos mixes — as well as 23 alternate takes and demos — in a deluxe four-disc “‘Abbey Road’ Anniversary Edition” boxed set. Though hearing the studio chatter and goof-ups around Take 9 of “Octopus’s Garden” is an exercise for die-hards, there are some excellent stripped-down versions of tunes: George Harrison’s studio demo of “Something” without strings and multi-tracks; and McCartney’s home demo of “Goodbye” written for the singer Mary Hopkin. (Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe; Sept. 27.) — C.W.
