Ellen Hughes , a familiar voice on WITF for many years as Sheila Ross - Contributing Editor host of the Desert Island Discs show - author of the Art & Soul column in the Patriot News and PennLive website - and actress, died of cancer at the all too young age of 68. She was a very active volunteer, Paul Haidet - Contributing Editor . serving on many arts boards - Harrisburg Symphony, Market Square Concerts, Harrisburg Theater and Volunteer Coordinator others and served as Exec. Dir. of Market Square for several years. She was a dear and earnest friend Leslie Beamer who always gave honest and knowing opinions when asked, and distributed glowing compliments when deserved. We will be hard pressed to find someone to fill her art critic shoes and will not find anyone to replace her spirit and enthusiasm for the world of culture she embraced. Our sympathies to her children and husband...rest in peace dear friend.. . . Support JAZZ - Thanks to all for your continuing support of CPFJ! the Music of Freedom! .

If you play the vibes, you have to square with the fact that two names will always exist behind your playing. Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson. You cannot escape this duo. If you yourself were not influenced by them, others will compare you to them. Can you make fluid runs like Hamp did? Can you play the blues like Bags? Do you have the kind of understatement and finesse that the Modern Jazz Quartet was famous for? On Memorial Day weekend, several hundred Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz got to experience Steve Nelson address these questions, even as he asserted his unique voice on this most storied and hip instrument. In the past, I have experienced some vibes players grandstanding – flailing around the instrument, making goofy faces at the audience, exploiting the novelty of the timbre to highlight flash over substance. None of that occurred here. After a rousing set by the Red Land High School Jazz band (man, those young men and women can play!), Steve and his quartet quietly took the stand, picked up or sat down at their instruments, and blew the roof off the Rose Lerhman Center. As a player, Steve Nelson makes no goofy faces. There are no unnecessary movements or flailing of limbs. He doesn’t switch mallets very often, and rarely departs from a two-mallet approach. In short, he is not interesting to watch. Instead, he IS interesting to hear, and there was plenty of that to go around. If I were given only one word to describe Mr Nelson’s voice, it would be “dynamics.” I found myself thinking more of Bill Evans than other vibes players, as Nelson displayed the uncanny ability to get inside the songs, using a wide palette of textures and volume to portray meaning. In short, he made the vibes sing, keeping the audience hanging on every note and the deep amount of experience and living behind his music. Did he play standards? Yep. Did he do the obligatory “Bags Groove” quote? Yep. These were not the highlights, though. The highlights lay in the deep communication between Steve and the ensemble, the easy virtuosity of his playing, and the deep meaning in his dynamics and musical statements. This was not an afternoon of histrionics. Instead, we were treated to a feast of blisteringly good jazz.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29TH - 7:30pm “A NIGHT OF LEGENDS” FESTIVAL CONCERT AT MT. GRETNA PLAYHOUSE . The 35th Annual Festival concert will be held in the fabulous Gretna Theatre and is co-produced by Gretna Music. The program is underwritten by Tom & Donna Weik and dedicated to the memory of Leesa Crnogorac , one of the longtime supporters of CPFJ and Gretna Music. The evenings “Legends” include vocalist /pianist Freddy Cole and his quartet. Freddy is the brother of Nat “King” Cole and has been thrilling audiences with his interpretations of the American Songbook through more than 20 recordings and thousands of performances. People Magazine states: “Gorgeous autumnal baritone, expressive phrasing and pitch-perfect feel for jazz standards, pop tunes and love ballads.” The second band is the Eddie Henderson’s Quintet with special guests Billy Hart (dr), George Cables (piano), Eric Alexander (sax) , and Doug Weiss (bass). Eddie Henderson got his first trumpet lesson from Louis Armstrong and went on to join Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi Band in the early ‘70’s. He has since built a reputation as one of the leading jazz musicians in the world. His group is an all-star ensemble and promises to bring great energy and excitement to the Festival. This is quite a lineup of jazz luminaries - don’t miss a great evening of jazz in this beautiful venue. CPFJ thanks to Gretna Music and Tom & Donna Weik for making this event possible.

JOIN THE CENTRAL PA YOUTH JAZZ BAND Ron Waters is the Director for the CPFJ 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!!

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
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.
Terell Stafford has been hailed as “one of the great players of our time, a fabulous trumpet player” by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner.
Stafford picked up his first trumpet at thirteen, and even though he was drawn to jazz, initially studied Terell Stafford 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 was invited to join 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 with Horizon 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 regular member of drummer Matt Wilson’s creative group “ Arts and Crafts ,” Terell’s vast performing experience includes bands led by such venerable artists as 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’s Essentially Ellington Program, and serves on the board of the Jazz Education Network. Prior to taking the job at Temple, he served as a member of the faculty for the Juilliard Institute for Jazz Studies. On April 25, 2013, he was named Artistic Director of the newly formed Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia . 11 12 RIVER CITY BLUES CLUB Presenting Live Music, Great Drinks & Food in comfortable surroundings.
