What to Bring to A Show
Be sure to bring along a valid form of identification and of course, your confirmation e-mail when visiting Birdland. If you don’t have either of those, a last name will do just fine.
What is a Jazz Show Like?
Our shows feature a jazz group center stage. Generally, it is seen as a faux pas to talk during a jazz show, and some bands see talking or dancing during performances as disrespectful. People attending these shows should always follow the instructions of the band to get the most out of it. Those who want to head to a show where dancing is permitted should look for big band or swing groups. For first-time jazz club goers, it is best to wait until after solos are performed to clap or take cues from the other audience members. Those who wish to get another drink or need to use the facilities during the show, should wait until the song is over as a sign of good manners.
