New in our Weekend Arts Planner: works by a visionary communicator from Côte d'Ivoire on view now at the Museum of Modern Art, and a new lineup provides a fresh start for trio-turned-quartet The Bad Plus, playing Tuesday through Sunday at the Blue Note.

And then I rounded a corner, and was stopped dead in my tracks by something unexpected.

Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, "GBRÉ=GBLÉ" N° 118 from "Alphabet Bété," 1991. © 2022 Family of Frédéric Bruly BouabréFrédéric Bruly Bouabré, "GBRÉ=GBLÉ" N° 118 from "Alphabet Bété," 1991. is the first-ever U.S. museum exhibition devoted to the visionary artist from Côte d'Ivoire. Bouabré was born in 1923 and died in 2014, and spent his career pursuing themes of equality and mutual understanding through his art — up to and including the invention of a new graphic-based language system.

The gallery is lined with dozens and dozens of small, colorful sketches, which are both childlike and sophisticated at once. And in one more special touch, everywhere you go you hear the sound of Bouabré's voice emerging from loudspeakers, enunciating the sounds of his utopian alphabet. The show is magical.The Bad Plus demonstrates the chemistry of its new lineup at the Blue Note Jazz Club this week.

When Iverson left the group in 2017, Anderson and King hired another pianist, Orrin Evans. They made two strong records, but then disbanded last year.and it's a reset in more than just name: Instead of a new pianist, Anderson and King have recruited saxophonist Chris Speed and guitarist Ben Monder.
