About Us
Over the past years it has been our mission to enlist and bring to you some of the greatest musical talent in the Atlanta area. Beginning with A Sparkling Planet in 2006, it’s been a real pleasure working with the fine musicians we’ve been lucky enough to have in our group.
Today we are launching a new side project under the name Jazz By Two. This was designed to bring an atmosphere and touch of class to a more intimate or semi-intimate crowd. The material is classic and modern jazz standards with a touch of pop and R&B.
The duo consists of Jeff Andrew Simpson (Piano, sax, flute & vocals) and Billy Bryant (Drums, percussion & vocals). This is one GREAT SOUND! Let me tell you. We receive many comments about how full the sound is from two guys. At times you’ll swear you’re hearing a trio or quartet. (see videos) Through on-stage synchronized keyboards our sound is engineered, arranged and planned carefully as to showcase Mr.Simpson’s many talents on horns, piano and vocals.
Jazz By Two is becoming wildly popular at wedding receptions, meet and greets, wineries, art gallery openings and private parties. Simply because the whole outfit has a small foot print, the price point is modest and great value for any event or venue. So, we can set up about anywhere and still stay in your budget!
Don’t worry, we still do some of your favorite mood music, bebop and swing from A Sparkling Planet. But, the focus of Jazz By Two is to bring that velvet sophistication to your event. We do classic-standard jazz ( Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis and Duke Ellington ) and contemporary-modern jazz ( Pat Metheny, John Pizzarelli, Grover Washington, Jr.). For a little dance, throw in some 
tasty pop tunes ( Sting, Earth Wind & Fire, and Maroon 5 ) and you have a real party. We can tailor the show to fit your event. This could be just the right atmosphere and ambience you’ve been looking for.
Jazz By Two boasts a big band sound (listen to audio clips) and is absolutely the BEST VAUE for your entertainment dollar. But, depending on the event, you may want (or need) to hire a larger group like a trio or a quartet. We can certainly accommodate that easily (as well as) a larger 5-6 piece band “A Sparkling Planet”. This would be more of a dance oriented event, maybe even a larger than 200 attendance crowd.
So, make your event a successful one. Jazz By Two are professional and very easy to work with. (please see Reviews on the right column of this page). Experienced musicians and performers – we’ll take care of your entertainment needs so you dont have to worry. Please see our MEDIA page for live performances and musical clips. Our talent speaks for itself,but, please see our biographies ABOUT US page to read a little more about who we are.
