The Birdland Big Band live in New York

Experience The Birdland Big Band live on September 25th

The Birdland Big Band will perform a concert on September 25, 2026, at Birdland Marina in New York, United States. The ensemble is known for its dedication to the classic big band sound popularized during the swing era, performing arrangements and original compositions rooted in jazz traditions. Their repertoire typically includes pieces reminiscent of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Thad Jones, emphasizing tight ensemble playing, dynamic horn sections, and improvisational solos.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to New York City’s waterfront entertainment venues, opening in 2023. Located on the Hudson River, it’s designed as a multi-purpose event space with a focus on live music and outdoor performances. The name deliberately evokes the legacy of the famed Birdland jazz club which operated in New York City from 1949 to 1965 and was considered one of the most important jazz clubs ever established. While not directly affiliated with the original club’s ownership or operations, Birdland Marina aims to honor that history by hosting jazz and related musical performances. The marina itself offers docking facilities alongside its event spaces.
