EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT:

We have been awarded a generous grant from the Dauphin County Commissionersthat will enable us to present a concert on September 5th at Fort Hunter Park as partof the Dauphin County Jazz & Wine Festival. The Festival’s regular schedule is onSeptember 6th & 7th and our added evening will bring mainstream jazz to the event(which has been predominantly “smooth” jazz) and will serve as the first concert inour annual Fall Concert Series. For those of you who haven’t attended the Festivalpreviously, there is a very large tent that protects the audience and stage area from theelements and the concerts go on rain or shine. Sponsor, Corporate, and LifeMembers of CPFJ will get free tickets to the entire weekend and there will be winetasting and food available for purchase during our concert and the entire weekend.There are many details to be worked out yet but we are grateful to the Commissionersfor their support of CPFJ.

Our thanks to the Music Committee and chairman Tim Warfield, Jr. for arranging thegreat lineup of artists for the Spring Concert Series. We are again grateful to theShearer Family Fund and Scott Shearer for underwriting the Series - without theirhelp we would be unable to present these artists in Central PA. Please attend theseevents and remember that we maintain the highest musical standards - we are surethat you will be amazed and inspired by the musicians we present even if you haven’tpreviously heard of them. Cecile McLorin Salvant is a rising star vocalist and shouldnot be missed - she will be in the jazz stratosphere very soon and we hope you will takethis opportunity to see her early in her career. You may remember that we presentedan unknown singer at our 1995 Festival that showed the same promise - Diana Krall!

Our 34th Annual Central PA Jazz Festival will include events at Mt. Gretna Playhouseand we thanks the folks at Music at Gretna for offering to co-host a concert in thewonderful facility on August 10th. Planning for the Festival should be complete intime for the April newsletter, so keep an eye on our website for updates in Festivalartists and events. We plan to move the 2015 Festival to April or May and it willinclude more educational components for all ages than past festivals.

CPFJ proudly presents jazz organ legend Joey DeFrancesco and his Trio

Joey DeFrancesco comes from a musical family. His Grandfather Joseph DeFrancesco (his namesake) was a reed man. And of course

his father "Papa" John DeFrancesco is a fine jazz organist in his own right. At the age of four Joey began taking a strong interest in the organ. Bythe time he was five, he was playing Jimmy Smith songs verbatim. As the years went on his interest and love for the organ and music grewstronger. From the ages of 5-10 his father would bring him to his own gigs and let him sit in. At 10 years of age he began to play in a band inPhiladelphia, which featured legendary players Hank Mobley on Tenor Saxophone, and "Philly" Joe Jones on the Drums. At 16 he signed anexclusive recording contract with Columbia Records, releasing his first record "All Of Me" at 17. This record was single handedly responsible forthe great resurgence of the Hammond sound in popular music. Also in his 17th year he was called on by the great Miles Davis to join his band,and toured all over Europe. It was at that time that Joey, inspired by Miles’s sound, picked up the trumpet & started playing. To this day, Joeycontinues to play the trumpet, very similar to the style of Miles. At 18, Joey began touring with his own quartet. At 22, John McLaughlin called himalong with drummer Dennis Chambers, to form the group the "Free Spirits" which toured extensively for 4 years.

Joey has been around the world and back dozens of times with his own trio, but also playing and recording with some of the greatest musicians inthe world - Ray Charles, Bette Midler, David Sanborn, Arturo Sandoval, Frank Wess, Benny Golson, James Moody, Steve Gadd, Elvin Jones,Jimmy Cobb, George Benson, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, and many more. He has won the Down Beat Critics and Readers poll every year since2002, as well as Jazz Journalist award, and countless others. In 2004 Joey was nominated for a Grammy for his record "Falling In Love Again",and again in 2010 for his release titled “Never Can Say Goodbye”. Currently, Joey continues to tour with his own group, and tours with DavidSanborn. Joey has played a key role in the development of his signature model organ, called Numa, by Studiologic.

Paul BollenbackGuitar master George Benson, a long-time supporter described Bollenback’s work as ". . . bona-fide playing, unambiguous, up-front andpowerful," calling him “a versatile dynamo on guitar.” Bollenback counts Benson high among his wide range of influences; these also includeCarlos Santana, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, John McLaughlin, Johnny Winter, and Jimi Hendrix (among guitarists), as well as such giantsHerbie Hancock and Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane. Born just outside Chicago, Illinois in 1959, Paul was raised just outside NYC,living for a few years in India. It was there that he cultivated a life-long interest in exotic musical sounds and timbres that remains evident in evenhis most jazz-based work. When Paul heard Miles Davis he refocused his energies into jazz fusion. Relocating a from New York to Washington,DC, in ‘75 Bollenback began to study and perform both straight-ahead jazz and fusion. He majored in music at the University of Miami, thenstudied for eight years with Baltimore-based professor of Theory/Composition Asher Zlotnick. In 1990 Paul established a working relationship withthe young organ legend Joey DeFrancesco, an association that has lasted to this day, producing 18 recordings. In 1997, Bollenback was namedMusician of the Year at the Washington Area Music Awards. That year he returned to New York City, where he now lives. Bollenback has playedwith an impressive spectrum of musicians, including Steve Gadd, Gary Bartz, Paul Bley, Charlie Byrd, Terri-Lyne Carrington, Herb Ellis, GeoffreyKeezer, Mike LeDonne, Joe Locke, Jack McDuff, James Moody, David “Fathead” Newman, Jim Snidero, Gary Thomas, Grady Tate, StanleyTurrentine, and Jeff “Tain” Watts. His international and national touring schedule currently include appearances with Joey DeFrancesco, MikeLeDonne, Jim Snidero, Gary Smullyan, Buster Williams, Chris McNulty’s Magic Trio, as well as many appearances with his own trio.

Carmen Intorre performs with legendary jazz guitarist Pat Martino, touring extensively throughout the world with the guitarist's organ trio.

Born in Buffalo, NY, he developed an early interest in music and began playing drums at age five. A graduate of The Institute for Jazz Studies atthe Juilliard School, he has performed and recorded with numerous musicians such as George Benson, LarryCoryell, Wynton Marsalis, Monty Alexander, George Coleman, Eric Alexander, George Cables, Benny Golson,Joe Locke, Lew Tabackin, Bobby Watson, Ira Sullivan, and many others. A 2011 GRAMMY® nominee for hisperformance on the critically acclaimed album by Joey DeFrancesco entitled Never Can Say Goodbye: TheMusic of Michael Jackson, Intorre also had the pleasure of performing alongside DeFrancesco and Dr. LonnieSmith on the PBS show Legends of Jazz, hosted by Ramsey Lewis. "Carmen is one of my favorite drummers;he has a very wide groove and strong beat, and most of all he swings his ass off! I love him!" says DeFrancesco.Drummer/Percussionist Intorre released a new recording, “For the Soul” (Random Act Records) in 2013 - theorgan-based session covers a wide range of musical stylings from Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan to Chick Coreaand Weather Report. Joining the drummer/percussionist on the album are organists Pat Bianchi & JoeyDeFrancesco and guitarist John Hart. The album swings within the tradition while expanding upon the vocabularyand boundaries of the idiom.

The extraordinarily gifted new vocalist, Cécile McLorinSalvant, released hot on the heels of her win atWomanChildthe Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition. Andthe buzz has only grown since then. NPR is "knocked out,"The New York Times says, "Ms. McLorin Salvant has it all,"and Wynton Marsalis praises her "poise, elegance, soul,humor, sensuality, power, virtuosity, range, insight,intelligence, depth and grace.” The album has deservinglyfound its way onto numerous Best Of 2013 lists from NPR toThe New York Times to Ann Powers to iTunes.

Cecile McLorin SalvantSunday, April 6, 2014 7p.m.Pollock Center for the ArtsCamp Hill, PA

2104 Grammy Nominee

When Cécile McLorin Salvant arrived at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC to compete in the finals of the 2010Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, she was not only the youngest finalist, but also a mystery woman withthe most unusual background of any of the participants. When she walked away with first place in the jazz world’s mostprestigious contest, the buzz began almost immediately. If anything, it has intensified in the months leading up to thelaunch of her Mack Avenue Records debut, WomanChild. “I’ve never heard a singer of her generation who has such acommand of styles,” remarks pianist Aaron Diehl. “She radiates authority,” critic Ben Ratliff wrote in The New York Times,and a few weeks later his colleague Stephen Holden announced that “Ms. McLorin Salvant has it all.... If anyone can extendthe lineage of the Big Three—Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald—it is this 23-year-old virtuoso.”Cecile was born in Miami to French and Haitian parents where she embraced classical music as a child. She left the U.S. tostudy in France after high school and returned to win the Monk competition. She was signed to Mack Avenue Records forher first release and has garnered a Grammy nomination for 2013. A meteoric beginning for a new career.

Made possible by a grant from the Lois Lehrman Grass Foundation

We welcome our new He has beenCPFJ Board President, Jerry Bennett.a long time Board member and very active in CPFJ activities for many years.Jerry is an Education Research Associate for the PA Department ofEducation and the owner of G. A. Bennett Associates, a research anddiversity training firm. He has been a member of CPFJ since 1990. Jerrysays, “I became a Jazz fan in my early teens. After the dawn to dusk Blackradio station would go off the air, a jazz station from Montreal Canada wouldcome on (in French) and I would listen to it. I have been a fan ever since.”Jerry will continue as our Grant Chairman along with his new office duties.

We thank our out-going President, for her energy and timeAmy Banksduring the last two years. She was a positive force and helped greatly inrebuilding the popularity of CPFJ.

JOIN THE CPFJ YOUTH BANDDirector Ron Waters announcedthat rehearsals have started for theCPFJ Youth Band.

Please contact Mr. Waters at(717) 432-3109 or via email

- all [email protected] with an interest inlearning to improvise are welcome.

Our continuing dedication to jazz education led to the creation of the CPFJ Youth Band over 25 years ago. Directed by Ron Waters,the band is open to all school age musicians - grade school through high school. Mr. Waters prepares arrangements to suit theparticular talents of the participants each year. All applicants are accepted without audition - Mr. Waters finds a niche for everyinstrumentalist and vocalist. The band’s rehearsals and concerts are scheduled year round including performances at the Central PAJazz Festival, Jazz Picnic, and many other events. Not only do the students get wonderful experience playing in an improvisingensemble, but they get to meet kids from other schools who have the same interest in jazz. This ensemble offers a different experiencethan most High School Jazz Ensembles - it is not a place where the students simply read the notes on the page - all members learn toimprovise and get valuable experience playing jazz standards and original music in a group setting. The Youth Band is also notrestricted to the traditional big band instrumentation (trumpets, trombones, saxes & rhythm section) - all instruments are welcome - wehave 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!!

Please tell your young musical friends and relatives

about the 2013 Central PA Jazz Camp for students

aged 10-21. Brochures will be available soon - the

tuition rates will be the same as last year - $350 for

resident campers and $250 for commuters.

Resident students will stay in Messiah's dormitories

and all students have their meals in the cafeteria.

Registration will be at 10a.m. on June 18th and

there will be a very full three day schedule until the

final camp performances at 7p.m. in the spectacular

Parmer Hall on Friday, June 20th. Last year we had

our highest attendance in Camp history - 70 student

musicians attended - we hope to increase that

number this summer. Students will learn

improvisational skills and have classes in jazz history,

composition, arranging, keyboard lab, ear training,

and music theory. They will also be mentored by the

finest professional musician/ educators. Performance

opportunities include daily small and large jazz

ensemble rehearsals and nightly Jazz Jam Sessions.

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. Please call the CPFJ

Office at 717-540-1010 or email

[email protected] for more information if you

are interested in funding our camp.

Education is the force that keeps America's Music

alive - thanks for your support!

Messiah College, Mechanicsburg, PA: Dr. William Stowman will host our annual Jazz Camp in Messiah's

beautiful High Center. Information on this year’s music faculty will be available soon.

Track of the Month

In this issue of the ViBE, we are instituting a new feature called “track of the month.”Remember back when records came with liner notes that gave information about what you werehearing on the album? I personally learned LOTS about music from reading those notes and thenhearing it on the record. In this monthly column, the ViBE collides the new with the old by suggestinga 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!

Joey DeFrancesco & Jimmy Smith –

“Back at the Chicken Shack” from the album “Legacy”

Joey D. collides the worlds on this one. Not only is there a “past meets present”vibe in his duet with Jimmy Smith (one of Joey's major influences) on one ofJimmy's signature tunes, this track is also peppered with references to the historyof jazz. If you don't already have the Jimmy Smith version of the song (from thealbum of the same name), try downloading that track too. While you're at it,download one of the many versions of “Manteca” by Dizzy Gillespie. With these three downloads in hand,what you will hear on the Jimmy Smith original is a simple melody played over a classic blues form. Listen toDizzy next to hear the wonderful Latin influence that his band so deftly melded with big band bebop jazz. Now,listen to the Joey D track – he has sped up the tempo and layered the “Chicken Shack” melody on to theclassic vamp and rhythms of “Manteca!” Now, that's one tasty treat… Paul Haidet
