Who’s Live Today?

Avi Bortnick

Birds64 Downing Street, New York 10014

Avi Bortnick is billed at Birds in Manhattan on November 27. No additional performers are listed, and the bill does not specify a formation, guest appearance, special program, release event, tribute, residency, or late set. The music takes place in Birds’ basement listening room, a roughly 150-capacity space with a bar and wooden-bench seating arranged close to the performance area. It is a ticketed live-music night in a room built for hearing the players clearly, with space to talk between sets.

The available information identifies the act as Avi Bortnick, but provides no biographical background, hometown, musical collaborators, recordings, or critical descriptions. Birds presents live music spanning soul and funk, jazz, and Latin jazz, and has a history of booking top-tier acts, though the materials do not attach a particular style to Bortnick’s appearance. What is confirmed is a billed performance by Bortnick in a Manhattan club whose focus is the music itself: a compact room where the audience is seated close to the stage and the sound carries from the front to the back.
