Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on September 14th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 14, 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 performances feature arrangements based on original orchestrations and recordings, utilizing period instruments and a focus on historical authenticity. Giordano himself is a noted expert on the music of this era and a prolific collector of rare arrangements.

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, was arguably the most important jazz club in New York City during its heyday, hosting nearly every major jazz artist of the time. In 2017, a new venue carrying the Birdland name opened as part of a larger entertainment complex including a marina and restaurant in Chelsea Piers.
