Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage is proud to present special programming on Saturday, August 29, 2020 in celebration of jazz icon Charlie Parker's 100th birthday.

Leading up to Birda??s 100th birthday and throughout the year, the celebration will encompass a series of releases spanning a variety of media and perspectives in order to explore the full span of his inestimable legacy.

Now at Birdland, Karrin Allyson is a great muse for Mose Allison. His wit and satirical edge sound interestingly freshened sung by a modern female voice who is clearly in sync with the way he used to think.  

The Broadway at Birdland concert series was proud to present singer Natalie Douglas in another one of her “Tributes,” a monthly performance celebrating iconic singers. On Monday, November 25, Natalie honored the one and only Joni Mitchell with a spectacular evening of music.

Natalie Douglas finds a way to make the audience the focal point yet enjoys the limelight. One of the best performers to regularly star on the Birdland stage. In her latest Tributes show, Douglas paid homage to Joni Mitchell, while exuding the same charming, sweet, and wonderful aura that's made each tributes show so fantastic.

On Tuesday, November 12, acclaimed jazz drummer and composer Jerome Jennings will present a concert at Dizzy's Club in celebration of his sophomore album, Solidarity a?" an exploration of resilience and resistance through the prisms of the Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, and LGBTQ+ rights movements, slated for release on November 8.

It's safe to say that Natalie Douglas is a little obsessed with Cher. Throughout TRIBUTES: CHER, the latest in her award-winning TRIBUTES series, Douglas made her way through the icon's life from her early career up to the present, both in song and in story. But the real focus of the July 16 show at Birdland wasn't necessarily in identifying with the woman, the myth, the legend that is Cher. (After all, how can anyone fully relate to someone for whom a phrase as simple as "Hi again" is a meme-able moment?)
