The flagship venue for midtown’s jazz resurgence, Birdland takes its place among the neon lights of Times Square seriously. And it should: It’s named after the legendary Charlie "Bird" Parker and boasts a rich history stretching back to the late 1940s.
That means the intimate-yet-lively a haven for great jazz musicians (Joe Lovano, Kurt Elling) as well as performers like John Pizzarelli and Aaron Neville, with a mix of traditional and contemporary jazz. The club is also notable for its roster of bands in residence. Sundays belong to the Birdland Latin Jazz Orchestra with David DeJesus.
