Peter Bernstein live in New York

Experience Peter Bernstein live on July 26th

Peter Bernstein is scheduled to perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on July 26, 2026. Bernstein is a highly respected jazz guitarist known for his modern approach to the classic jazz guitar tradition. His style is deeply rooted in the harmonic language of Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall, but incorporates a contemporary sensibility characterized by sophisticated chord voicings, melodic improvisation, and a distinctive rhythmic feel. He frequently performs and records with leading figures in jazz, and maintains a long discography as a leader and sideman.

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 of its time, hosting nearly every major jazz artist during its run. While not in the same location, the current Birdland Theater, established in 1986, 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 presenting high-quality live jazz performances.
