Cafe Ornithology is a long-standing jazz venue located in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Originally opened in 1998 by bassist Frank Lacy, it quickly became known for its intimate setting and dedication to showcasing both established and emerging jazz musicians. The club’s name pays homage to Charlie “Bird” Parker and the bebop era. Over the years, it has hosted numerous notable figures in the jazz world and continues to operate as a vital space for live music performance. The venue is characterized by its relatively small capacity which fosters a close connection between performers and audience members.
