Frank Vignola live in New York

Experience Frank Vignola live on October 14th

Frank Vignola will be performing at Birdland Theater in New York City on October 14, 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 picking, sophisticated harmonic substitutions, and a strong emphasis on improvisation within a swing aesthetic. He often performs solo or with ensembles featuring violin and upright bass, evoking the hot jazz clubs of 1930s Paris.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan’s Theater District and carries significant historical weight within the jazz world. The original Birdland club, founded in 1949 at 315 West 44th Street, quickly became legendary as a premier venue for both established stars and emerging talents like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. It was known for its intimate atmosphere and high-quality acoustics.

The current Birdland Theater, opened in 2015, operates as a continuation of that legacy, presenting a diverse program of jazz performances.
