FESTIVAL OF NEW TRUMPET MUSIC The 14th convocation of trumpet-centric progressivism is titled “Flexus,” after an instructional book by John McNeil and Laurie Frink (it will include a panel on the subject, and an award for Mr. McNeil). But there will also be a clutch of up-and-comers appearing at Threes Brewing in Brooklyn; a “Signatures in Brass” series organized by Marquis Hill, at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola; and a “New Dimensions” concert at the New School, featuring Wadada Leo Smith and Taylor Ho Bynum. Sept. 19 through 25. fontmusic.org. (Chinen)
BETTY BUCKLEY The adventurous singing actress returns to her downtown stomping ground Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater for a seven-show engagement. Her new show, “Story Songs,” mixes rock songs (by Radiohead and others) with theater songs by established names like Stephen Schwartz and Jason Robert Brown and such up-and-comers as Ben Toth and Joe Iconis. Sept. 22-25. (Holden)
‘HANDFUL OF KEYS: A CENTURY OF JAZZ PIANO’ Jazz at Lincoln Center opens its fall concert season with this centennial survey of jazz piano, featuring more than a half-dozen practitioners of the art. The oldest pianist on the program, at 89, will be the stride and ragtime authority Dick Hyman; the youngest, at 13, will be the postbop prodigy Joey Alexander. Helen Sung and Aaron Diehl are among the other accomplished guests, all performing with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Rose Theater. Sept. 22-24. (Chine)
