Cyrus Chestnut live in New York

Experience Cyrus Chestnut live on July 23rd

Pianist Cyrus Chestnut will be performing at Birdland Marina on July 23, 2026. Chestnut is recognized for his distinctive blend of jazz improvisation rooted in a strong gospel and blues foundation. His playing often incorporates elements of stride piano, bebop, and post-bop harmonic concepts, resulting in a dynamic and spiritually-infused sound. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with prominent figures such as Wynton Marsalis and Dizzy Gillespie, and maintains a substantial discography as both a leader and sideman.

Birdland Marina, located in New York City, operates as an extension of the historic Birdland Jazz Club. The original Birdland, founded in 1949, was a legendary venue that hosted nearly every major jazz artist of the mid-20th century and became synonymous with the “golden age” of jazz. While the original club closed in 1965, its legacy was revived with new locations. Birdland Marina specifically aims to recreate the intimate atmosphere of the original while offering waterfront views and a more relaxed setting than its Manhattan counterpart. It continues to present established and emerging jazz talent to audiences.
