Hot Combination at Birdland: Bryce Edwards and Mike Davis Resurrect the Jazz Age

Bryce Edwards and Mike Davis have created something rare at Birdland. Their centennial tribute is part history, part dance party, and part love letter. With virtuosos onstage and a cache of nearly forgotten songs, Hot Combination shows that the Jazz Age still bubbles with humor, beauty, and youthful defiance. Don’t let the next one slip by. Check Birdland’s calendar, follow these artists, and step in. The 1920s are still roaring.

Stepping Back In Time: NYC’s Best-Preserved Historic Districts

Now, you’ve got to understand something about New York City—and I mean really understand it, not just nod your head like you’re listening to your Aunt Mildred explain her bunion surgery. Furthermore, New York isn’t just a city. Oh no, friends. Instead, it’s a giant, sprawling, honking, magnificent time machine disguised as a place where people go to make their rent and complain about the subway.

Mingus Big Band at Birdland

Charles Mingus, virtuoso bass player and visionary of music whose compositions transcend melody and rhythm with kinetic reimagining and human emotion, was like no other composer. He lived in a time of huge upheaval in this country through the 50s and 60s, and his compositions often addressed his disgust and anger at the total disregard for its citizens.
