The Birdland Big Band is a contemporary large jazz ensemble carrying forward the tradition of classic big band sounds while incorporating modern arrangements and original compositions.

Birdland Marina is located on the East River in Manhattan, operating as a dry-stack marina offering boat storage and related services. The site's name references the legendary Birdland jazz club which operated from 1949 to 1965 at 315 West 44th Street in New York City – a pivotal venue in jazz history that hosted many iconic performers including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Count Basie. While not directly affiliated with the original club’s ownership or operation, the marina intentionally evokes that heritage through its branding and occasional hosting of musical events. The current marina facility opened in 2003 and aims to provide convenient access to the waterways surrounding Manhattan.
