Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on August 25th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on August 25, 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 songbooks of composers like Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington, delivered with historically informed arrangements and instrumentation. Giordano himself is a renowned vibraphonist, arranger, and historian of this musical era.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to the legacy of the famed Birdland jazz club. The original Birdland, operating from 1949 to 1965 at 315 West 44th Street in Manhattan, was arguably the most important jazz club of its time, hosting nearly every major jazz artist of the period. While not a direct continuation of that space—which was demolished—Birdland Marina aims to evoke the spirit and prestige of its namesake.
