Birdland Marina, located in New York City, operates as an extension of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club, established in 1949. While the original Birdland on Broadway was a pivotal venue during the bebop era hosting icons like Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, it closed in 1965. The name was revived in 1986, and Birdland Marina represents a further expansion, offering a waterfront setting for live performances. It aims to maintain the legacy of its namesake by presenting high-quality jazz and Latin music acts. The venue provides a more relaxed atmosphere than the main Birdland club while still prioritizing acoustic excellence and an intimate concert experience. It’s situated on the Hudson River offering views alongside musical performances.
