Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live in New York

Experience Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks live on September 29th

Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 29, 2026. The ensemble specializes in meticulously recreating the sounds of American popular music from the 1920s through the 1940s, often described as hot jazz, swing, and early big band arrangements. Giordano is a renowned vibraphonist, arranger, and historian dedicated to preserving this musical era. The Nighthawks are known for their authentic instrumentation and dedication to stylistic accuracy, frequently performing music originally associated with artists like Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, and Paul Whiteman.

Birdland Marina operates as a seasonal outdoor performance venue situated on the Hudson River. It’s a continuation of the legacy of the famed Birdland jazz club which operated in Manhattan from 1949 to 1965 and was central to the post-war jazz scene. While not directly connected to the original club’s physical location, Birdland Marina aims to evoke its spirit by hosting live music events. The venue provides an open-air setting intended to offer audiences a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying live performances with waterfront views.
