Birdland Marina is a relatively new performance venue located in New York City, opened in 2022 as an extension of the historic Birdland Jazz Club. While the original Birdland on Broadway held immense significance in the mid-20th century jazz scene hosting legends like Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, the Marina location offers a more intimate, waterfront setting. It aims to continue the legacy of its namesake by presenting both established and emerging jazz artists. The space features views of the Hudson River and is designed to accommodate both seated listening experiences and a more casual atmosphere. It’s positioned as a venue dedicated to preserving and promoting live jazz music within New York City's vibrant cultural landscape. Lonnie Plaxico is scheduled to perform at this location on September 1st, 2026.
