Birdland is one of NYC’s legendary Jazz supper clubs. The original “Jazz corner of the world” was one of the New York Jazz clubs where Jazz and Latin mixed together.
Arturo O’Farrill and The Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble have a standing Sunday night Latin Jazz gig that’s been going on for over 20 years. 🇨🇺

The Jazz Corner of the World
The original club opened on Broadway in 1949 with Charlie “Yardbird” Parker headlining. As the 52nd St jazz scene collapsed, the energy moved to Birdland and other clubs. Jazz legends played regularly until the original closed in 1965.
The club reopened uptown at Broadway and 105th in 1986. It moved to its current Hell’s Kitchen location in 1996. Jazz legends play regularly.
Sundays are Latin jazz night. Chico O’Farrill started the tradition with his Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra in the 1990s. Arturo O’Farrill carries on to this day with his Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. It must be one of the longest standing gigs in jazz. Highly recommended.
