Despite his blindness, he was always ready to The Vibe help, serving on the Board of Directors and as President of CPFJ for many years. Steve Rudolph - Editor There was never a complaint about his lack of sight, only positive ideas and talk of Sheila Ross - Contributing Editor great music and musicians. We offer condolences to his wife, Josie, and his family Volunteer Coordinator and friends...he will be missed. Leslie Beamer Thanks to all for your continuing support of CPFJ!

Legendary Philadelphia bassistLee Smith recently released a new CD,””Sittin' on a Secret , and he brings the strong voices from his recording ensemble to the Gretna Playhouse – Marc Adler(flute), Tim Thompson (trumpet), Tim Warfield(sax), Joshua Richmond (piano), and Justin Faulkner (drums - you may remember Justin as our guest at last year’s Festival jam session). Early in his career, Lee was bassist for R&B artists Billy Paul and the Delphonics. He then toured for five years with Mongo Santamaria and since that time he has performed with Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie and Roberta Flack as well as his own ensembles. Lee is also known as a great teacher, having schooled his son - jazz star bass player Christian McBride. . New York basedHendrik Meurkens , a harmonica and vibraphone virtuoso, will appear with his New York Samba Jazz Quartetthat features Russian pianist Misha Tsiganov and Brazilian musicians Gustavo Amarante – bass & Adriano Santos - drums. Hendrik has been a frequent visitor to Central PA in the last 15 years and is known world wide as a true master of his instruments. He lived in Brazil for several years, absorbing the music and culture of that unique civilization. After moving back to Germany and establishing himself as the “new jazz harmonica voice”, he made the move to New York, thanks to an exclusive contract with the prestigious label, Concord Records. He has since recorded fifteen albums, and continues to perform as both a guest artist, and with his own groups, in festivals and clubs globally. We are thrilled to have all of these wonderful artists performing at the closing concert of our 34th annual Central PA Jazz Festival.

MAY 25TH SPRING CONCERT Ehud Asherie & Ken Peplowski - Starting the Summer Right

There are lots of ways to categorize jazz. Some think in eras: traditional, bebop, hard bop, fusion, etc. Others think geographically, as in New Orleans jazz, Chicago style, West Coast, and whatnot. Still others think stylistically, and talk about modal, swing, free, and more. While I have organized my thinking along all these conventions at one time or another, the schema that I mostly use is one dominated by time and season. Yes, I delight in picking out the perfect jazz for the exact time that I am listening. There's Dexter Gordon for after midnight, and Spyro Gyra for summer mornings; even Coltrane has a time (try listening to A Love Supreme as the sun rises for a spiritual experience). So, as I sat listening to Ken Peplowski and Ehud Asherie on a beautiful Memorial Day weekend, with the afternoon sun streaming into the grand hall of the WITF studios, I couldn't help noticing that the jazz was perfectly matched to the time and season.

I think this “time feeling” crossed many categorical boundaries. Peplowski and Asherie are both from New York. They played an exciting mix of show tunes (Thou Swell), standards (The Jeep is Jumpin'), and originals. Stylistically, their center of gravity was focused on traditional jazz, but also swirled around and through bebop, stride, ragtime, and included modern touches as well. As for influences, I heard much of the history and its people in their playing. For example, there was James P Johnson, Fats Waller, Erroll Garner, and Billy Taylor, all rolled up and filtered through Tin Pan Alley in Ehud's playing. For his part, Ken played with a super smooth tone and lots of imagination on clarinet. And when he picked up the tenor sax, I heard a cross between Ben Webster and Lester Young – how could someone meld together two more disparate players so seamlessly? Yes, class was in session, as these two guys took us through a tour of jazz history. However, despite all the eras, styles, and geography, the one thread that held the whole concert together was that it was the perfect jazz for a sunny summer afternoon.

In some ways, it's easier to play in a group. With four or more players, one can turn their ears off and blend into the ensemble. It's potentially easier as a soloist, too. When playing solo, one has to be creative and on target, but they don't have to worry about blending with others – they can just go off and do their own thing without consequences. I think duets present the greatest challenge to a jazz musician, because there is no hiding (as in an ensemble), and there is the real need to listen intently and both solo and support, all of the time. In addition, since there is no rhythm section, both instrumentalists need to pay attention to both melody and rhythm. This is no easy feat, but is exactly what we witnessed from Asherie and Peplowski, made all the more amazing by the ease and relaxation with which they burned through tunes by Ellinton, King Oliver, Al Jolson, Rogers and Hart, Fats Waller, Sonny Stitt, Johnny Hodges, and others.

Of course, the audience of CPFJ regulars demanded an encore, which Ehud and Ken were happy to provide. And their afternoony, lazy, pretty version of 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' provided the perfect capstone. What a great way to start the summer! Article and phots by Paul Haidet - CPFJ Board Member JOIN THE CPFJ YOUTH BAND

During the concert we awarded the Ogden Thompson Memorial Scholarship to Jeanne Marie Stalteri from Indiana, PA who will be attending Slippery Rock Univ. this fall. Presenting the award were Kara Thompson and her son Sherman, who is attends the camp.

The facilities at Messiah College are ideal for this event with great pianos in abundance, a keyboard lab, plenty of rehearsal space and their beautiful performance hall - Parmer Hall - where the closing concert is held. We hope you were able to attend this exciting event to see and hear the boundless energy and enthusiasm that these kids bring to the music.

We are grateful again to the Olewine Family Fund for underwriting the Camp and we encourage those of you who are able to donate to our tuition fund - we annually have many talented young musicians who are unable to afford to attend. This year we had scholarships donated by Penn National Insurance, The Hall Foundation, David and Mary Heltzel, Janice R. Black, Capitol Blue Cross, David Skerpon, and Rosemary Barrett. Education is the force that keeps America's Music alive - thanks for your support! Pictured in master classes with the students are drummer Jeff Stabley, piano class with Kirk Reese, trombone master Wycliffe Gordon, jazz history with Jonathan Ragonese, and sax master Tim Warfield. We had an exceptional group of students this year who were all very attentive and eager to learn. Many new friends were made...our thanks to the faculty and staff at Messiah for their time and cooperation in hosting this great event. SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!!

Track of the Month . Remember back when records came with liner notes that gave information about what you were hearing on the album? In this monthly column, the ViBE collides the new with the old by suggesting a tune to download from iTunes, Spotify, or your favorite music service, and providing “liner notes” from one of the CPFJ musicians or jazz enthusiasts. Enjoy! . Mark Whitfield –“Girl Talk” from the album True Blue . OK, let’s connect the dots on this one. I was at the recent CPFJ concert listening to a wonderfully “summery” version of “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” played by Ken Peplowski and Ehud Asherie, and thinking it was time to crack out some “summery- feeling” jazz. That brought me to this song, and, in particular, this version. Mark Whitfield, after graduating from Berklee (where he attended on a full scholarship), got his first break playing with Jack McDuff, and this was the tune on which he was often featured. The song itself was written by Neal Hefti, the great songwriter and arranger who worked with Woody Herman and Count Basie, and scored the film and TV series The Odd Couple. Speaking of television, the lyrics were written by the great Bobby Troup, who also wrote “Route 66,” was married to singer Julie London, and played the role of Dr. Joe Early on the 1970s TV show Emergency! Which brings us back full circle to our Sunday afternoon CPFJ concert in Harrisburg, the city where Bobby Troup was born. Bring on the summer, baby!
