CPFJ 2015 FALL CONCERT SERIES SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11TH Terell Stafford Quintet plays the music of Lee Morgan Pollock Center, 340 North 21st Street, Camp Hill, PA Tim Warfield(sax) Bruce Barth (p) Peter Washington (b) & Kenny Washington (dr) 3pm Temple Universty Jazz Ensemble 4pm Terell Stafford Quintet
Terell's Quintet will feature music from his new CD -BrotherLee Love on Capri Records - dedicated to the music of Philadelphia jazz trumpet legend Lee Morgan in the beautiful new Pollock Center for the Arts. Terell Stafford has been hailed as “one of the great players of our time, a fabulous trumpet player” by jazz Terell Stafford pianist McCoy Tyner and he brings an all-star ensemble for this concert and conducts the opening band - The Temple University Jazz Ensemble. Stafford picked up his first trumpet at thirteen, and even though he was drawn to jazz, initially studied classical music. He attended University of Maryland and began to immerse himself in jazz with the recordings of Clifford Brown being his main influence. In 1988, he met Wynton Marsalis who suggested he study with Dr. William Fielder at Rutgers University. During his time at Rutgers, Stafford joined Bobby Watson’s heralded group,Horizon. Over the next five years, Stafford was able to balance his offstage education with the knowledge and experience he gained from performing alongside Watson, co-leader Victor Lewis, and renowned keyboard artist Shirley Scott. He credits this time with teaching him to be an effective arranger, composer, and bandleader. Stafford’s time withHorizon led to his joining McCoy Tyner’s Latin All-Star Band which featured many master Latin jazz players, including trombonist Steve Turre, flutist Dave Valentin and percussionist Jerry Gonzalez. Since the mid-1990’s Stafford has performed with groups such as Benny Golson’s Sextet, McCoy Tyner’s Sextet, the Kenny Barron Sextet, the Jimmy Heath Big Band, and the Jon Faddis Orchestra. Currently he is a member of the GRAMMY award winning Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, as well as a member of the GRAMMY nominated Clayton Brothers Quintet. Terell played an integral part on several albums including Diana Krall’s GRAMMY nominated From this Moment On (2006). He is also a member of drummer Matt Wilson’s creative group “Arts and Crafts ,” and his vast performing experience includes bands led by Cedar Walton, Sadao Watanabe and Herbie Mann. He has recorded six albums as a leader and can be heard as a sideman on over 90 albums. The head of the Jazz Department at Temple University, Terell is a recipient of Temple's “Creative Achievement Award.” He is also a clinician for the prestigious Vail Foundation in Colorado, Jazz at Lincoln Center’sEssentially Ellington Program, and serves on the board of the Jazz Education Network. On April 25, 2013, he was named Artistic Director of the newly formed Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia. 4 NOVEMBER 29TH - 3PM CPFJ proudly presents “Stride & Ragtime” with pianist Farid Barron. Barron has begun a great FARID BARRON career, playing for Wynton Marsalis, the Sun Ra Arkestra, Ralph Peterson, and Johnny Coles. He will perform a program of great American jazz piano masterpieces like Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," Meade Lux Lewis's "Honky Tonk Train Blues," and James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout." WITF has a beautiful concert Steinway grand and will be a wonderful venue for this performance. Tickets available in this issue of The ViBE, on our website, by calling 717-540-1010 or at the door. Relive some jazz An Evening of Stride & Ragtime Piano history - come out and hear this performance!

8 ALL PHOTOS BY PAUL HAIDET JOIN THE CENTRAL PA YOUTH JAZZ BAND
Ron Waters is the Director for theCPFJ Youth Band . There is no tuition fee and all applicants are accepted. Please contact Mr. Waters at (717) 432-3109 or via email [email protected] - all young musicians with an interest in learning to improvise are welcome. Our continuing dedication to jazz education led to the creation of the CPFJ Youth Band over 25 years ago. Mr. Waters is a professional arranger, composer and trumpet player and the band is open to all school age musicians - grade school through high school. Mr. Waters prepares arrangements to suit the particular talents of the participants each year. All applicants are accepted without audition - Mr. Waters finds a niche for every instrumentalist and vocalist. The band’s rehearsals and concerts are scheduled year round including performances at the Central PA Jazz Festival, Jazz Picnic, and many other events. Not only do the students get wonderful experience playing in an improvising ensemble, but they get to meet kids from other schools who have the same interest in jazz. This ensemble offers a different experience than most High School Jazz Ensembles - it is not a place where the students simply read the notes on the page - all members learn to improvise and get valuable experience playing jazz standards and original music in a group setting. The Youth Band is also not restricted to the traditional big band instrumentation (trumpets, trombones, saxes & rhythm section) - all instruments are welcome - we have had almost every imaginable instrument….cello, accordion, oboe, flute, etc. in past bands. The Youth Band plays all of our festivals and major events as well as many civic functions and concerts - come join the fun!! LEAVE A LEGACY
