Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on September 7th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 7, 2026. The ensemble specializes in authentic American music from the 1920s and 30s, encompassing jazz, hot jazz, and early swing styles. Their performances often feature arrangements originally played by iconic bandleaders like Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, and Paul Whiteman, meticulously researched and recreated from original scores and recordings. Giordano himself is a renowned vibraphonist, arranger, and historian of this musical era.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to the storied history of New York jazz venues. It opened in 2019 as an extension of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club, located further uptown. Situated on West 44th Street in the Theater District, Birdland Marina offers a more intimate performance space compared to the main club. The venue aims to maintain Birdland’s reputation for presenting high-quality jazz while providing a different atmosphere; it features a focus on visual presentation alongside the music. It continues the legacy of the original Birdland club which operated from 1949-1965 and hosted many prominent jazz musicians.
