Hi dear friends of Jazz and those of good will who support the care and well being of the financially stressed at the St. Barnabas Nursing Homes. We are ready to start a new year of quarterly Jazz Cabarets in the Mt. Vernon Room on July 29, 2015.

We had a very successful first year with great jazz artists and were able to contribute four thousand dollars to the “Free Care Fund”.

The new season starts with Maura Minteer and her trio – Jeff Lashway on keyboard, Tony DePaolis on bass, and David Glover on drums. Maura has an extensive background in music, theatre, and television. She is drawn to the songs of the Great American Songbook – popular songs and jazz standards from the 20th century, once performed by Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney and Blossom Dearie, among others. Her trio have all appeared in local, regional, and national venues. Jeff and Tony appeared at our Jazz Cabarets last season.

Please join us for a summer evening of live jazz as it was presented in jazz clubs in my generation – cool sounds in a candlelit setting.

When: Wednesday, July 29, 2015
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.
Place: Mt. Vernon Room (Kean Theatre annex),
Washington Place, 5847 Meridian Road, Gibsonia, 15044
Cost: $12.50 per person.
This includes cash bar, free appetizers and parking.

All ticket proceeds will go the the Free Care Fund at St. Barnabas.

For more information and/or reservations, please contact us at 412-366-1035 or via our website Contact Form.
We presently have several sponsors who will provide our start-up expenses. However if anyone wishes to join us in this philanthropic endeavor, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
Brooks and Helen Bartlett

 

“GREAT MUSIC – WORTHY CAUSE” – April 22, 2015

“Up Jumps Spring” – a jazz song that Freddie Hubbard wrote seems like a good intro for our April 22, 2015 Jazz Cabaret at St. Barnabas. We are excited about the marvelous musical artists who will be performing. Chris Laitta, Paul Thompson, and Jeff Lashway present the very best interpretation of songs in the jazz genre. The music is presented in the milieu of a retro jazz club of the 40’s-50’s.

Come and enjoy an evening of jazz and conviviality – AND support the “Free Care Fund” at St. Barnabas.

Date: April 22, 2015
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.

Place: Kean Theatre annex of Washington Place
5847 Meridian Road, Gibsonia, PA 15044

Cost: $12.50 per person.
Cash bar, free appetizers and parking
