Tonight enjoyed terrific jazz interpretations by Anderson twins of the American songbook with swing era textures, color contrast with their different and complementary instruments, uniquely good twin phrasing because they are! Went for the great sound of the room, specifically this music, sax clarinets flute + great backing band including drummer pianist and bass who had their own great solos. Easy to be alone, requested fringe solo elevated table matching backed chair, highest tier at the back wall near kitchen so decent ventilation, traffic so no stagnant air. Terrific integrated sound at such seating. Enjoyed the fruit and cheese plate, which was fine to meet the minimum. Kept my mask on as much as possible because 850,000 new cases today of COVID in the USA, still killing, with >80% over 65 y/o and I anticipate returning.
I've been to the Birdland many times but finally decided to write a review. Overall it definitely worth a stop if you're into the music. Before she passed away I used to come see my favorite pianist Beegie Adair here maybe once a year when she came up. The place is well organized. Both rooms are great to enjoy music. The only ding I'll give is the food I've had recently was pretty meh. My buddy got the Caesar Salad and it was pretty weak. My gumbo was ok but the seafood was brutally overcooked. The chips and guac were good though and was recommended by the waitress. So overall I'd 100% recommend coming here. But I'd also 100% recommend just getting apps here and not planning on a full dinner. I did attend the late show so maybe that affected the food quality. Excellent venue. Great location. Great music. So so food, but it's a Jazz club with food not a restaurant with Jazz so still 5* for me.
