On one of the last nights we were in New York, Bryan and I headed out to see a movie then onto "Birdland" one of NYC's famous Jazz Supper Clubs.
Famous artists that have performed at "Birdland" are: Charlie Parker, Count Basie, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis just to name a few. And with acts like that over the years the club attracted famous celebrities on a nightly basis including Sammy Davis Junior, Gary Cooper, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich and Ava Gardner for example.
We saw the "Heath Brothers" and they were amazing. They have played with some of the jazz players listed above.
The setting was fairly intimate and food was pretty good, so if you're into Jazz "Birdland" is definitely a "must see" when visiting New York. I would recommend that you book your ticket in advance to make sure you get a good seat up the front of the club.
