The Birdland Big Band live in New York

Experience The Birdland Big Band live on September 18th

The Birdland Big Band will perform a concert on September 18, 2026, at Birdland Marina in New York, United States. The ensemble is a contemporary large jazz orchestra 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, encompassing swing, bebop, and modern jazz influences. The band frequently features arrangements by prominent composers and showcases both established and emerging soloists.

Birdland Marina is located on the Hudson River, operating as a seasonal marina and event space. It’s built on the site formerly occupied by the legendary Birdland jazz club which operated from 1949 to 1965 at 315 West 44th Street in Manhattan. While not a direct reconstruction of the original club, the marina’s name and occasional jazz performances are intended to honor that history. The current location provides an outdoor waterfront setting for events, differing significantly from the intimate indoor atmosphere of the original Birdland. The marina offers docking facilities alongside its event hosting capabilities.
