Birdland Big Band

Band

Birdland Big Band, or BBB, is a New York ensemble heard every Friday at Birdland Jazz Club and during two annual headlining weeks. Its original repertoire brings together jazz, funk, Brazilian, Latin and world music. Weekly guest artists join the band from television groups including those for David Letterman and Saturday Night Live, as well as touring bands for Rob Thomas and Rod Stewart.

Time Out New York called BBB “a completely unique experience... there isn't another band like this anywhere,” while Yelp urged listeners to “prepare to be blown away.”
