Sentence construction with comma usage

Guys,

Does this sentence sound OK?

Visitors can check out the modern and contemporary jazz, along side toe-tapping to the rhythms of old favourites.

Hi, Visitors can check out the modern and contemporary jazz, along side toe-tapping to the rhythms of old favourites. Alongside is one word. I prefer to use a parallel construction for both verb forms.
