Experience Frank Vignola live on August 26th

Frank Vignola is scheduled to perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on August 26, 2026. Vignola is a highly regarded jazz guitarist celebrated for his virtuosity in the style of Django Reinhardt – a technique known as “Gypsy jazz” – and his broader command of swing, bebop, and traditional jazz guitar. His playing frequently showcases rapid-fire picking, sophisticated harmonic knowledge, and a dedication to the improvisational spirit of jazz. He often performs solo and with ensembles, demonstrating his ability to both lead and accompany.

Birdland Theater is situated in the heart of the Theater District in Manhattan. The present venue is a continuation of the legendary Birdland jazz club originally founded in 1949. The original Birdland, operating until 1965, was a pivotal location in jazz history, hosting performances by seminal figures like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. The current Birdland, opened in 1986, aims to carry on that legacy, presenting both established and emerging jazz artists in an intimate setting. It is known for its dedication to live jazz music and considered a significant New York City jazz institution.
