Experience Will Bonness live on August 23rd

Will Bonness will be performing at Birdland Marina on August 23, 2026. Bonness is a jazz trombonist and composer known for his distinctly lyrical and harmonically rich approach to the instrument. His work frequently incorporates elements of post-bop, modern jazz, and occasionally ventures into more avant-garde territories, often featuring extended improvisations and complex arrangements. He has released several albums as a leader and has collaborated with prominent figures in contemporary jazz.

Birdland Marina is a relatively new performance venue situated on the Hudson River in Manhattan, New York City. Opened in 2023, it’s designed to evoke the atmosphere of the legendary Birdland jazz club which operated in New York City from 1949 to 1965. While not directly affiliated with the original Birdland, the Marina aims to continue its legacy by hosting both established and emerging jazz artists. The space features both indoor and outdoor seating, capitalizing on its waterfront location. It’s become recognized for its focus on presenting live jazz in an intimate setting with high-quality sound reinforcement. The venue regularly hosts performances spanning various subgenres within jazz and related musical styles.
