CYRO BAPTISTA For 40-plus years, the Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista has added color and verve to a broad swath of musical settings, including concerts and recordings by Paul Simon, John Zorn, David Byrne, Herbie Hancock, Yo-Yo Ma and Sting. Special guests from throughout his career are promised at these 75th birthday shows, named “A Banquet for the Spirits” in a nod to Banquet of the Spirits, his eclectic, long-running ensemble drawing on Arabic, African and Indian music as well as that of his home country.

MAVIS STAPLES The sole surviving member of the Staple Singers, Mavis Staples is the sort of trailblazing artist to whom tribute can’t be overpaid. But her new (mostly) covers album “Sad and Beautiful World” turns the tables, recognizing the work of her contemporaries and successors. It features songs by Frank Ocean and Leonard Cohen; contributors include Katie Crutchfield, Justin Vernon, MJ Lendermann and Hozier. (Nov. 7; Anti-) — HORN
TORTOISE New music from Tortoise arrives less frequently these days than in the ’90s, when the Chicago outfit spearheaded a shift toward supple sounds informed by krautrock, Minimalism and early jazz fusion. The band will perform in support of “Touch,” out Nov. 11, its first album in nine years and its debut for the International Anthem and Nonesuch labels after a long association with Thrill Jockey.

PATRICIA BRENNAN During the past few years, the vibraphonist Patricia Brennan has emerged as a powerfully assured composer-bandleader to watch. Building on last year’s excellent “Breaking Stretch,” her next effort, “Of the Near and Far” — due on Pyroclastic Oct. 24, and to be celebrated later at this record-release show — ventures boldly into new zones, drawing on her classical background, her love of ’90s alternative rock and her passion for astronomy.

AL FOSTER The jazz drumming great Al Foster remained an active presence on the New York scene until shortly before his death in May at 82. “Live at Smoke,” recorded in January at the Upper West Side club and approved for release by Foster, documents his last-ever run of shows, where he led a band featuring three stellar players decades his junior: the saxophonist Chris Potter, the pianist Brad Mehldau and the bassist Joe Martin.
