Jazz At The Museum

An Evening with The Elm City All Stars

 The Nutley Museum, 65 Church St.

The Elm City quartet is composed of Dan Rausch of New Haven, Conn. (also known as “The Elm City”) on keyboard and vocals; Dante Guariglia, a former Nutley resident, on electric guitar; Harry Lawler, a Carlstadt resident, on bass and acoustic guitar, and Michael Gabriele on saxophone and clarinet. Gabriele is a 1971 graduate of Nutley High School and a former editor of The Nutley Sun (1983-85).
 

The Elm City All Stars performed two years ago at an outdoor festival  in Third Ward Park, Passaic. Band members, from left, include keyboard player Dan Rausch; guitarist Dante Guariglia, bassist Harry Lawler and saxophonist Michael Gabriele.

Musical selections will feature jazz standards, rock tunes, blues and ballads, including “Out of Nowhere,” “Autumn Leaves,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Moondance,” “Equinox” and “Stormy Monday Blues.” In recent years, the Elm City All Stars have performed at outdoor festivals in Passaic and sessions in Clifton, East
Rutherford, Newark and Jersey City.
 
The Mike Luipersbeck Jazz Group launched the “Jazz at the Museum” series with a performance in November 2008. The Clifton-based combo was featured in two other sessions: in May and October 2009. Last February, the series continued with Nutley musician Melanie Mitrano and her group.

 A “free-will” donation of $5 per person is suggested.

The evening includes complementary beverages and snacks.

The audience is invited to tour the museum during intermission.
