The Birdland Big Band live in New York

Experience The Birdland Big Band live on July 24th

The Birdland Big Band is scheduled to perform at Birdland Marina on July 24, 2026. The band is recognized for its performances of classic and contemporary big band jazz arrangements, drawing heavily from the repertoire associated with the original Birdland jazz club in New York City. Their style incorporates elements of swing, bebop, and Latin jazz, often featuring arrangements by prominent figures in the genre as well as original compositions.

Birdland Marina is a waterfront venue located in New York, built on the site formerly occupied by the legendary Birdland jazz club which operated from 1949 to 1965. While not a direct reconstruction, the marina consciously evokes the spirit of the original club – a landmark venue that hosted many of jazz’s most celebrated artists including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. The current space functions as an event location and offers views of the Hudson River. The marina's development aimed to re-establish a connection between live music and the historical significance of the Birdland name within the New York City jazz scene. It continues to host musical performances, though primarily during warmer months due to its outdoor focus.
