Frank Vignola will perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on August 12, 2026. Vignola is a highly regarded jazz guitarist known for his virtuosic technique and dedication to the traditional jazz guitar styles of players like Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, and Joe Pass. His playing often incorporates elements of swing, bebop, and Gypsy jazz, frequently featuring rapid-fire single-note runs and sophisticated harmonic voicings. He’s also recognized for his work in duets and ensembles, showcasing improvisational skills and a strong rhythmic drive.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan and carries a significant legacy within the jazz world. The original Birdland club, operating from 1949 to 1965, was famously known as “The Jazz Corner of the World” and hosted nearly every major jazz artist of the era. While the original venue closed, the name was revived in 1986 with a new location, and subsequently moved to its current space in 2015. The current Birdland Theater maintains the tradition of presenting high-quality jazz performances in an intimate setting, continuing to be a respected venue for both established artists and emerging talent.
