Experience Frank Vignola live on September 23rd

Frank Vignola will perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on September 23, 2026. Vignola is a highly regarded jazz guitarist known for his virtuosic technique and dedication to the traditional jazz guitar styles of the early to mid-20th century. His playing frequently evokes the spirit of players like Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, and Wes Montgomery, blending elements of swing, bebop, and Gypsy jazz. He often performs solo or with ensembles focusing on improvisation and intricate arrangements.

Birdland Theater carries a significant legacy within the jazz world. Originally established in 1949 as Birdland “the jazz corner of the world”, it quickly became one of New York’s most famous and influential jazz clubs. It hosted nearly every major jazz artist of the era, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Count Basie. The original club closed in 1965 but was revived in 1986 as Birdland Jazz Club, relocating to its current location within the Manhattan at Times Square Hotel complex. The current iteration maintains a commitment to presenting both established artists and emerging talent within the jazz genre, continuing the tradition established by its predecessor.
