Gil Evans Project directed by Ryan Truesdell takes place on गुरुवार, 28 मई 2026 at Birdland Jazz Club in New York, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका. 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.
