West Side 5
West Side 5 is a vocal jazz quintet based in New York, NY. Influenced by vocal jazz ensemble greats like the Real Group, Manhattan Transfer and the New York Voices, West Side 5 performs original interpretations of jazz, pop, and bossa nova standards at various venues in the New York/New Jersey area.
Lara, Eric, John and Sara first met through their membership in a singing group at Harvard College, VoxJazz, where they were members of various generations of the group. Steven was a member of the famous group the Whiffenpoofs at Yale at the time.
They found each other again in New York and each member brings a unique voice and specialty to the group’s complex sound. They have proven themselves, whether traveling the world with various ensembles, recording a dozen or so CDs amongst them, or performing on some of the world’s most recognizable cities and stages: Carnegie Hall, L’Opera Garnier, Notre Dame, and more.
