Frank Vignola live in New York

Experience Frank Vignola live on September 16th

Frank Vignola is scheduled to perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on September 16, 2026. Vignola is a highly regarded jazz guitarist known for his virtuosic technique and dedication to the tradition of Django Reinhardt-style “gypsy jazz.” His playing frequently incorporates rapid-fire arpeggios, intricate chord melodies, and improvisational skills rooted in the hot jazz of the 1930s, though he also demonstrates fluency in swing, bebop and other jazz idioms. He often performs solo or with ensembles featuring violin and upright bass, recreating the sound of the Quintette du Hot Club de France.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan’s Theater District and carries a significant legacy within jazz history. The original Birdland club, operating from 1949 to 1965 at 315 West 44th Street, was a landmark venue that hosted nearly every major jazz artist of its era – including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Count Basie – becoming synonymous with the golden age of jazz.
