The East Side Jazz Band has become a fixture in the Winnipeg band scene since its inception in 2007. The band loves to read and takes inspiration from a wide range of composers, including classics like Basie, Thad Jones and Duke Ellington, right up to modern composers like Darcy James Argue and Maria Schneider. Canadian composers like Christine Jensen, Terry Promane, Christian Overton and Mike Malone have made up large parts of their programs over the past few years, as well as compositions by members of the band and other Manitobans.Founded and directed by Dan Steinhilber, East Side offers a playing venue for musicians who want to be challenged but may not have the time to pursue music professionally on a full-time basis. The band is currently comprised of many top-notch music educators and local musicians. Many current and former members of the band continue to be regular players in the Winnipeg Jazz scene.
