Jazz Mandala was the perfect choice for our client's corporate reception at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara. They were very professional, talented, and easy to work with before and during the event. Their music provided just the right atmosphere for our outdoor event. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for live music at a reception. Great folks, too!
Response from Jazz Mandala:
Thanks Gary. We very much enjoyed working with you. We are glad the music was a good fit for your event. What a great summer evening by the beach!
"Jazz Mandala" gives a wonderful performance. Enjoy their smooth style and song selections. The flute solos soar like birds, and the piano work is incredible.

Jazz Mandala can be configured as a duo, trio, or quartet. We perform live jazz music for large parties and small intimate gatherings.
George De Filippo and Marilyn Avenali formed Jazz Mandala in March 2013. Since then, they and their musical colleagues have provided a wide range of jazz classics, smooth jazz, groove, and Bossa Nova standards - great music from the Great American Songbook. Whether as a duo, trio, or larger configuration, we can provide piano, guitar, bass, drums, and horns for the perfect jazz soundscape to complement your special events, weddings, or fundraisers. You can expect solid arrangements, great sound, and compelling improvisations. We look forward to performing for your next event!
