Frank Vignola live in New York

Experience Frank Vignola live on September 2nd

Frank Vignola is scheduled to perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on September 2, 2026. Vignola is a highly regarded jazz guitarist known for his virtuosity in the style of Django Reinhardt, pioneering a revival of the “gypsy jazz” sound. His playing frequently incorporates rapid-fire arpeggios, intricate chord melodies, and a strong emphasis on improvisation within a swing aesthetic. He often performs solo or with ensembles focusing on the Reinhardt repertoire, but also explores broader jazz standards and original compositions.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan and carries significant history within the American jazz landscape. Originally established in 1949 as Birdland, a larger venue, it quickly became one of the most famous and important jazz clubs in the world, hosting legendary performers like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. The original club closed in 1965. The current Birdland Theater opened in 1986 as a smaller, more intimate space continuing the legacy of its predecessor. It remains a prominent venue dedicated to showcasing both established and emerging jazz artists, maintaining a commitment to live performance and musical excellence.
