Gary Bartz live in New York

Experience Gary Bartz live on July 25th

Gary Bartz is scheduled to perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on July 25, 2026. Bartz is a highly respected jazz saxophonist and composer known for his work spanning hard bop, post-bop, and spiritual jazz. Emerging prominently in the 1960s, his style incorporates elements of modal jazz influenced by John Coltrane alongside a strong blues sensibility and Afro-Latin rhythms. He gained recognition through collaborations with artists like Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, McCoy Tyner, and Miles Davis, and has continued to lead his own groups and record prolifically throughout his career.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to New York City’s jazz club scene, opening in 2023 as an extension of the historic Birdland Jazz Club located further uptown. Situated on West 44th Street overlooking the Hudson River, it offers a more intimate performance space compared to the original Birdland.
