The Birdland Big Band live in New York

Experience The Birdland Big Band live on September 11th

The Birdland Big Band is a jazz ensemble that performs in the big band tradition, specializing in large-ensemble arrangements and swing music. The group is associated with the legacy of the historic Birdland jazz club, drawing on a repertoire that emphasizes the technical precision and harmonic complexity characteristic of mid-century American jazz. The ensemble focuses on preserving the big band sound through synchronized horn sections and rhythmic drive, often performing compositions that honor the influence of figures like Charlie Parker.

Birdland Marina is a maritime facility located in New York. Unlike the renowned Birdland jazz club, which serves as a cornerstone of the city's musical history and a hub for bebop and modern jazz, the marina provides docking and waterfront infrastructure within the New York harbor area. The pairing of the ensemble with this venue brings a traditional large-scale jazz performance to a waterfront setting in one of the world's primary cultural capitals.
