Gil Evans Project directed by Ryan Truesdell takes place on jeudi 28 mai 2026 at Birdland Jazz Club in New York, États-Unis. Below you'll find the full schedule, official ticket links, what to know before you go and directions to the venue.
What to know before you go
- Doors typically open about 60–90 minutes before showtime. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
- Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
- Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
- Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.
How to get there
- Public transport is usually the easiest option for big-city venues. Check the closest metro/subway/tram stop on the venue's website.
- If you drive, reserve parking in advance — venues fill nearby lots fast on show nights.
- Rideshare drop-off zones are usually a 2–5 minute walk from the entrance. Allow extra time for after-show pickup queues.
