Cyrus Chestnut live in New York

Experience Cyrus Chestnut live on July 21st

Cyrus Chestnut will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on July 21, 2026. Chestnut is a highly regarded jazz pianist known for his distinctive blend of post-bop improvisation, gospel influences, and a lyrical touch. His playing often incorporates elements of stride piano and blues phrasing, resulting in a sound that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with numerous prominent jazz musicians including Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, and maintains a substantial discography as a leader.

Birdland Marina is an offshoot venue of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club, established in 1949. While the original Birdland on Broadway was a landmark for decades hosting nearly every major jazz artist of the era, it closed in 1965. The Birdland name was revived in 1986 at a new location, and Birdland Marina represents a further expansion of the brand. Situated on West 44th Street in the Theater District, Birdland Marina offers a more intimate setting than its sister club while continuing the tradition of presenting high-quality jazz performances. It aims to provide audiences with an immersive experience focused on live music within a refined atmosphere.
