Birdland is a historic name in the New York City jazz landscape, originally established in 1949 as a premier venue for legendary musicians such as Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. While the original club closed in 1969, the brand continues to represent a legacy of high-caliber improvisational music within the city. The performance takes place at Birdland Marina, extending this association with jazz into a waterfront setting in New York.
