The Birdland Big Band live in New York

Experience The Birdland Big Band live on August 7th

The Birdland Big Band will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on August 7, 2026. The band is a contemporary large jazz ensemble carrying on the legacy of the famed Birdland jazz club. Their musical style centers around arrangements and original compositions rooted in the big band tradition, incorporating elements of swing, bebop, and modern harmonic concepts. They frequently feature arrangements by prominent figures in jazz orchestration and showcase both established and emerging soloists.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to New York City’s waterfront entertainment venues, opening in 2023. Located on the Hudson River, it was developed as part of a larger initiative to revitalize the area's public access to the waterfront. The marina itself accommodates boat docking alongside its performance spaces and dining options. It is designed to evoke the atmosphere of the original Birdland club—a legendary New York City jazz venue that operated from 1949 to 1965—through architectural details and a focus on live music programming. The current venue aims to provide an open-air setting for musical performances with views of the Hudson River.
