MARC CARY QUARTET (Friday and Saturday) Marc Cary approaches the piano trio tradition from a predominantly rhythmic standpoint, but with ample evidence of harmonic sophistication. This week he has a new album out, “Focus Trio Live 2009” (Motéma), featuring a strong working band; here he assembles a different unit, with Igmar Thomas on trumpet, Burniss Travis on bass and Will Calhoun on drums. At 8, 10 and 11:30 p.m., Smoke, 2751 Broadway, at 106th Street , (212) 864-6662, smokejazz.com; cover, $30. (Chinen)
