NO COVER CHARGE 7. HELP SUPPORT OUR 37th ANNUAL CENTRAL PA JAZZ FESTIVAL !
As you have probably already read elsewhere in this newsletter, we have planned an outstanding program for CPFJ's 37th Annual Jazz Festival. Although we are very cost conscious, bringing top quality musicians, arranging for facilities, advertising, and everything required to organize our Festival cost money...quite a bit of money! Like all arts groups, CPFJ must rely on financial support from those who appreciate and understand the value of live jazz. Our membership fees, ticket prices, and grants only cover approximately 65% of the costs to produce concerts and festivals. We need your support for the 37th Annual Central PA Jazz Festival to succeed. . We ask you to make a special contribution to the success of the Festival. Become an Underwriter with your tax-deductible contribution and let us list your name as a supporter in the program booklet. You may also choose to pay tribute to a friend or musician by listing their name in the program. Or, if you prefer, take an ad in the program to promote your business or organization. The program will highlight all of the events and artists for the Festival and will be distributed at all Festival events and our Fall Concert Series (from August through December, 2017). . The deadline for inclusion in our program is fast approaching. If you are interested, please give us a call or complete the form on page ten and mail it to us right away. Or you may go to our website and use our ONLINE STORE to place your order. We can also accept your information/ad by email at [email protected]. . Each and every donation, no matter the size, is truly appreciated. Thank you! . Your 37th Annual Festival Committee: Tim Warfield, Jr., Wilma Soliday, Sheila Ross, Keith Thomas, Waverly Parker & Mark Swartzbaugh
Central PA Friends of Jazz - Track of the Month by Paul Haidet (@myheroistrane)
The Three Sounds – “Tammy’s Breeze ” from the album “ Moods ”
When the band Chicago released “Saturday in the Park” in 1972, I thought that this might possibly be the most perfect song ever released to evoke a relaxed summertime Saturday afternoon. “Tammy’s Breeze,” released a dozen years earlier, is jazz’s Sunday equivalent of “Saturday in the Park.” Hailing originally from South Bend, Indiana, The Three Sounds included Gene Harris on piano, Andrew Simpkins on bass, and Bill Dowdy on drums, and they were one of the Blue Note label’s best-selling artists in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Together with the Ramsey Lewis Trio, the Three Sounds’ bluesy, swinging style captivated the masses, and kept jazz in the public eye, even though many critics unfairly dismissed the group at the time as “lounge jazz.” This track proves the critics wrong and demonstrates The Three Sounds’ versatility. A Gene Harris original, the tune settles immediately into a relaxed groove that will have you floating along with Tammy on that warm summer current.

JOIN THE CPFJ YOUTH BAND
Our continuing dedication to jazz education led to the creation of the CPFJ Youth Band almost 30 years ago. Ron Waters is the Director for the CPFJ Youth Band. There is no tuition fee and all young musicians with an interest in learning to improvise are welcome. The band is open to all school age musicians - grade school through high school. All applicants are accepted without audition Mr. Waters prepares arrangements to suit the particular talents of the participants each year. A professional arranger, composer and trumpet player, he 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, JazzMobile 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 interests. 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. COME JOIN THE FUN!! Please contact Mr. Waters at (717) 432-3109 or via email at [email protected] 11.

JOEY DeFRANCESCO & THE PEOPLE THE JOST PROJECT IMPORTANT FRIENDS OF JAZZ INFORMATION!!
The Friday night, September 8th serves as our first FALL SERIES CONCERT at the Dauphin County Jazz & Wine Fest. Sponsor, Corporate & Life Friends will receive tickets by mail as they would for our regular Spring and Fall Concerts These tickets are good for the full three day event. Dauphin Co. does not sell single day tickets - only tickets for the full three day Festival. Many of our supporters have expressed concern that the new $50 fee ($60 at the gate) for tickets is too much to pay if you are only interested in the Friday night event. If you are a member in good standing in CPFJ and are interested only in the Friday night event, we have been approved to sell single day tickets for $30 to our members only . Regular Members may purchase only one ticket, patrons and donors may purchase two tickets at the $30 price. These tickets must be purchased in advance! You must call the office (717-540-1010) or order online (www.friendsofjazz.org) in order to get this opportunity - this ticket includes all music and wine tastings for the day. The event is held at Ft. Hunter Park just north of Harrisburg and is a rain or shine event - they have a circus-sized tent that will provide cover in case of inclement weather. There is free parking at the park. Remember to bring a chair or blanket as there are none available on site. There are several food vendors as well as twelve area vintners offering free tastings to ticket holders. No outside alcohol is allowed in the park, but you may bring your own picnic basket. Please contact us if you have questions - this is a good time to renew you membership in order to take advantage of this offer. 12. LEAVE A LEGACY
