East Shore is available for a variety of performance situations, ranging from concert and club work to private parties and corporate functions. The full ensemble consists of five players, but ensembles ranging from solo steel pan to the full quintet are available, depending up on the situation and the client's budget.

Some suggested instrument combinations are presented here - several songs are presented with different instrumentations, so by comparing different versions of the same title one can compare one instrumentation against another. Rates for the group vary depending upon the size of the ensemble, the length and nature of the engagement, etc. For more information, please visit the Bookings page at malletjazz.com.
