Goose Lane

Goose Lane was founded in 1997 by drummer Dave Parmelee and guitarist/composer Chris Cretella; two self-confessed metal-heads with a growing interest in improvisation, jazz and experimental music of all stripes. Known locally as the “house jazz band” for Rudy’s, an old standby for New Haven music fans, they’ve built a reputation for taking creative license with stalwart favorites, most notably their annual “Nutcracker Suite.”
Goose Lane is: Chris Cretella (guitar/composition/arranging),
Dave Parmelee (drums), Steve Asetta (saxophones/clarinets),
Michael Paolucci (drums), Keith Yarborough (tuba) and Justin Edwards (trombone).
