Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on August 24th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on August 24, 2026. The ensemble specializes in meticulously recreating the sounds of American popular music from the 1920s through the 1940s, often categorized as hot jazz, early swing, and pre-rock ‘n’ roll dance music. Their repertoire draws heavily from arrangements originally played by iconic bandleaders like Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, and Paul Whiteman, utilizing period instruments and stylistic nuances to achieve historical authenticity. Vince Giordano himself is a renowned vibraphonist, percussionist, and musical historian.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to the New York City jazz scene, opening in 2023 as an extension of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club. Located on West 44th Street in Manhattan’s Theater District, it offers a more intimate and relaxed setting than its parent club while maintaining a commitment to presenting high-quality jazz performances. The space aims to evoke the atmosphere of classic jazz venues while providing modern amenities. It's designed to accommodate both seated listening experiences and opportunities for dancing.
