Jazz shows in New York this week

Seven days of jazz in the city that still defines it. This is the working musician's week — not the festival headliners, but the nightly sets in the rooms that never stopped: a quartet at Smalls, a residency at Bar Bayeux in Crown Heights, an experimental set at the Jazz Gallery, the late hang that fills up after midnight. New York jazz runs on a rhythm. Early-week sets are quieter and cheaper, perfect for catching a trio up close; weekends pack out and add late sets. Many rooms run two or three sets a night, so a second-set walk-in is often the move when the first one's full. The list below updates daily as clubs confirm lineups, and jazz rooms add sets late — so refresh before you head down the stairs.
