Side by Side
Jazz duo
Side by Side is an exciting and dynamic jazz duo renowned for their unique ability to infuse modern pop classics with a vintage twist! Featuring the talented pairing of Mandi on vocals and George on piano and vocals, this duo has been captivating audiences together for over a decade. With every note performed live on stage - no backing tracks, just pure musical artistry - Side by Side delivers an authentic jazz and swing experience that is both fresh and nostalgic.​
Their repertoire is a rich tapestry of timeless Jazz Standards alongside reimagined pop hits spanning the 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond, all masterfully arranged in their signature style. The name "Side by Side" pays homage to the 1927 classic by Harry M. Woods, a cherished song in their Jazz Standards set and a reflection of their harmonious partnership.
Fully self-contained, Side by Side can come with their own high-quality PA system and lighting and perform using your onsite piano or their own professional stage piano - at no additional cost. ​
​
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering, a sophisticated soirée, or a large-scale event, Side by Side will weave their magic to create an unforgettable musical experience for you and your guests.
