Frank Vignola live in New York

Experience Frank Vignola live on October 7th

Frank Vignola will be performing at Birdland Theater in New York City on October 7, 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 is characterized by rapid, intricate fingerstyle technique, sophisticated harmonic knowledge, and a strong emphasis on improvisation within a swing aesthetic. He frequently performs solo and with ensembles, often incorporating elements of bebop and other jazz traditions alongside the Reinhardt-inspired repertoire.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan’s Theater District and carries a significant legacy within the jazz world. The original Birdland club, operating from 1949 to 1965 at 315 West 44th Street, was arguably the most famous jazz club in history, hosting nearly every major jazz artist of the era. While not in the original location, the current Birdland Theater, opened in 2015, aims to continue that tradition as a premier venue for both established and emerging jazz musicians. It's known for its intimate setting and dedication to live jazz performance.
