Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks at Birdland Theater

Some things never go out of style. You can put Jazz Age gems on that list...and then rightly double down by adding Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks, too. The noted multi-hyphenate and his band of true believers have long been the gold standard in this area—the premier purveyors of Roaring Twenties repertoire—and they've been demonstrating that fact of late through a popular 2025 residency at the Birdland Theater. Packing the house for two shows a night on Mondays and Tuesdays, Giordano and company continually delight with ears and eyes for authenticity. During the band's first set on March 31, the music, with concise history lessons attached, ran hot. Here, below, are a few camera captures documenting the show.
