Cafe Ornithology is a long-standing jazz club located in Kings County, New York City. Established in 1952 by Charlie “Bird” Parker’s manager, Leo Severino, it originally served as a haven for bebop musicians during a period when venues were less receptive to the evolving sound. The club quickly gained recognition for hosting performances by Parker himself, along with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and other influential jazz artists of the era.

Throughout its history, Cafe Ornithology has maintained a commitment to presenting live jazz in an intimate setting. While undergoing periods of closure and renovation, it remains a significant landmark within the city’s jazz community, continuing to showcase both established artists and emerging talent. The venue is noted for its relatively small capacity and focus on acoustic performance.
