Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on July 20th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina on July 20, 2026. The ensemble specializes in meticulously recreating the sounds of the American popular songbook from the 1920s through the 1940s, often described as hot jazz, swing, and early big band music. They are known for their historically informed arrangements and instrumentation, frequently contributing to film scores and period pieces requiring authentic musical backdrops. Vince Giordano himself is a highly respected multi-instrumentalist and researcher of early jazz.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to New York City’s jazz scene, opening in 2023 as an extension of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club established in 1949. Located on West 44th Street, it offers a more intimate and waterfront setting than its predecessor. While the original Birdland was pivotal in the bebop era hosting artists like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Birdland Marina focuses on presenting a diverse range of jazz styles while maintaining a connection to the club’s historical legacy. The venue aims to provide a listening room atmosphere with views of the Hudson River.
