Concert Series that begins September 9th - please save the dates for this year’s Series and join us for 5721 Jonestown Road great programs of world class jazz! Harrisburg PA 17112 . CENTRAL PA JAZZ FESTIVAL REVIEW: TEL: 717-540-1010 . Thurs., Aug 11: We had a well attended Kickoff Concert at Strawberry Square featuring our own CPFJ WEB: Youth Band - after playing the opening concert they made three stops with the JazzMobile supplied by www.friendsofjazz.org the Brenner Family of Dealerships - the Homeland Center on N. 6th Street, the Neighborhood Center on EMAIL: North 3rd Street and the dock on City Island, It began raining as we left Strawberry Square and [email protected] continued for the rest of the afternoon, so all of the outdoor performances were moved inside. The equipment on the JazzMobile was soaked from the downpour but the show must go on and the kids Steve Rudolph played very well at Homeland and the Neighborhood Center to very receptive audiences. There was no Executive Director alternate venue for the last site so we called it a day. The Riverboat Cruise was to feature a Philadelphia . Sheila Ross duo - (violinist) Diane Monroe and (pianist) Tom Lawton but Diane was unable to attend due to illness Office Manager and the music continued with a substitute saxophonist and Tom Lawton. Thurs., Aug 11: The Live Recording Session at the new Susquehanna Art Museum’s Main Gallery featuring saxophonists Tim Warfield and Jonathan Ragonese was an amazing performance in a very cool CPFJ Board of Directors: space and there were some serious sparks flying between the two artists! We were all so inspired that we . are considering hosting a “new music” series in this venue - stay tuned! Fri., Aug. 12: Our annual Jazz Party was held at River City Blues Club with great attendance and Dr. William Anderson inspiring music - four bands on the two floors of the River City Blues Club played from 7PM - 12:30AM (Membership) - Diane Wilson Bedford, Jim McFalls, Dred “Perky” Scott, Joshua Davis, Todd Harrison, Ryan Paul Bratcher Kauffman, Kevin Myers, Peter Paulsen, Larry Marshall, Jonathan Ragonese, Alex LoRe, Paul Bratcher, (President) Mark Hunsberger, Ryan Kuhns, and Kirk Reese were all in top form and the fans totally enjoyed the Oliver Fairley event. (Youth Committee Chair) Sat., Aug. 13: Jonathan Ragonese held an informative question-answer session with CPFJ Board member Dr. Paul Haidet Bill Anderson on jazz improvisation at Café 1500’s meeting room at 11:30; our Festival Jam Session at (Newsletter) the Hideaway in Mt. Gretna had to be cancelled due to the inclement weather; we partnered with Gretna Mary Heltzel Music to produce our Festival Concert featuring Houston Person’s Quartet and the Russell Malone (Marketing ) Quartet - the concert in the Mt. Gretna Playhouse was absolutely top notch with the group’s masterful Mark Hunsberger leaders and great sideman highlights from pianist Bruce Barth and drummer Willie Jones III. (Treasurer) Sun., Aug. 14 Jazz Picnic at Indian Echo Caverns (Hummelstown PA) with 5 bands from 1-7pm. Waverly Parker Guitarist Jay Umble’s Quartet opened the event; our Youth Band directed by Ron Waters performed (Festival) splendidly as did singer Nancy Reed’s Quartet with Steve Varner at the bass, world renowned pianist Jim Mark Swartzbaugh Ridl, and drummer Larry Marshall. Drummer Peter Lazorcik headed a quartet with area veterans Tom (Marketing) Strohman, Kevin MacConnell & Andy Roberts and showed great progress following his first year at Keith Thomas Manhattan School of Music. No Last Call, Harrisburg’s hit & run street band closed the Picnic with their (Vice President & Concessions) unique brand of Tim Thompson Mon., Aug. 15: The River City Blues Club hosted the River City Big Band and special guests Cathy (Youth Committee) Chemi (voc) & Harrisburg native saxophonist Rob Middleton currently leads the NYC Birdland Big Tim Warfield, Jr. Band - the band was swinging and it was great to hear Rob again - we had a ball! . (Artistic Director) This year’s Festival was very successful musically, but not so wonderful financially as Mother Nature . blessed us with very hot temperatures during our money making event on Saturday & Sunday. It was Youth Band Director: over 90 degrees when the first notes rang out from the Gretna stage and the excessive heat warrnings Ron Waters surely curtailed many jazz fan’s plans. As a result, our attendance was very low for both the Concert and . Picnic - one of the risks we take when hosting outdoor events. The Board will be considering options for The ViBE upcoming Festivals at the meeting this September - if you have any ideas or recommendations for future Steve Rudolph - Editor Festival events, sites, etc., please drop us a line and share your thoughts.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • Pressure of Trying to Make Each Note and Phrase a Little Jewel
    (Sportiello, Metz and Parrott) had the crowd buzzing during intermission and rising en masse for a standing ovation... KEN FRANCKLING/JAZZTIMES Together, they are the most elegant trio around! DICK HYMAN ...pure straight ahead heaven... doesn’t miss a beat or drop a false note... CHRIS SPECTOR, MIDWEST RECORD ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR SOME SONGS Many recording sessions are tense affairs, because the musicians feel the pressure of trying to make each note and phrase a little jewel. But at a Rossano Sportiello session, his delight in being allowed to make music, his easy assurance that there is no need to rush, makes everyone feel relaxed and joyous. No one could feel tense when his directions to the other musicians are so gentle, “You watch me. Maybe something nice will come out.” During playbacks, the control room was atypically quiet, because everyone (including visitors Harry Allen and Rebecca Kilgore) was busy listening and smiling. This trio is a friendly supportive community. Each voice is equal yet the three players come together from the first notes in a lovely synergy. Hear Ed Metz’s beautiful touch, his light-hearted rhythms that recall Jake Hanna so well: feathery brushwork or explosive accents. (Ed provides wonderfully apt incidental percus- sion, too.) Hear Nicki Parrott’s swinging pulse, the rich sonorities of her bass. Dur- ing this session, I would have sworn I heard a rhythm guitar because her sound is so ripe and full. As a singer, Nicki is one with the song. Her subtle, understated delivery is always convincing, whether she’s being perky or rueful.

The Research and Creative Productions (RCP) Committee does not attempt to assess the artistic or scholarly merit of the entries. The formatting of the entries follows discipline standards.
