Thanks to all our loyal supporters

for keeping jazz alive in Central PA!

Cyrus began his musical career at the age of six, playing in church in Baltimore, MD. While in Maryland he studied at thePeabody Conservatory and later went to Boston to get his degree in Composition from Berklee College of Music. He has sincebeen a major force on the international jazz scene having toured and performed with a wide range or artists including BetteMidler, Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes, Dizzy Gillespie, Betty Carter & opera star Kathleen Battle. He has been afrequent performer for CPFJ and was an educator/artist at our 2012 & 2013 Jazz camps.

Saxophonist/flutist Sharel Cassity, an Oklahoma native, made the transition to New York city with a full scholarship to Julliard in2005 - she graduated with her MA in Jazz Studies. She has been featured in the big bands of Jimmy Heath, Roy Hargrove & theDIVA Big Band and smaller jazz groups led by Wycliffe Gordon and Ingrid Jensen. Sharel appeared in the Downbeat Magazine'sCritics' Poll category for "Rising Star, Alto Saxophone" during 2010 & 2011 and her first CD as a leader, "Relentless" (JazzLegacy Productions) received a four star review in Downbeat. Recently, Sharel has had the honor of being inducted into theOklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame and is working on her second release with Jazz Legacy Productions..

We are also excited to host this performance in the new Grace Milliman Pollock Performing Arts Center - 340 North 21st Street,Camp Hill, PA 17011 - a facility that is part of the Camp Hill School district conveniently located just off the Hwy 15 Bypass..

CPFJ FALL SERIES CONCERT - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH

A Tribute to Dave Brubeck

Cyrus Chestnut pays tribute

to the jazz icon with an evening of his music and

memories in the new Pollock Center in Camp

Hill, PA.. A VIP Meet the Artist reception will be

held following the concert's video presentation

and performance. Please join us in this tribute!.This performance is underwritten by Tom & Donna Weik

in memory of Tom's father, Wilbur Z. Weik.

CPFJ proudly announces a special concert in tribute to the memory of one of America's jazz icons - DaveBrubeck. The pianist and composer who helped make jazz popular again in the 1950s and ’60s withrecordings like “Time Out,” the first jazz album to sell a million copies, and “Take Five,” the still instantlyrecognizable hit single that was that album’s centerpiece, died in December, 2012, one day before his92nd birthday. In his long career he became best known for his famous Quartet that featured drummerJoe Morello, bassist Eugene Wright, and alto saxophonist Paul Desmond..

CPFJ is thrilled to have our featured performer Cyrus Chestnut arranging a full evening of Brubeck'smusic for his Trio & he will bring special guest alto saxophonist Sharel Cassity to help relive the originalBrubeck Quartet sound. Bassist Eric Wheeler and drummer Evan Sherman round out this stellar group.Video segments of the original Brubeck Quartet from rare European performances will also be shown..

FREDDY COLE QUARTETOn Sunday, November 10 at 3:00PM IN The Ware Center, Lancaster, CPFJ is proud to welcome

The Freddy Cole Quartet, featuring Freddy Cole piano/vocals, Elias Bailey - bass, Curtis Boyd -

drums, Randy Napoleon guitar. Living jazz legend Lionel Frederick Cole was born in 1931, the

youngest of Edward and Paulina Nancy Cole’s five children. His three elder brothers - Eddie,

Ike and Nat (twelve years Freddy’s senior) - were all musicians. Freddy began playing and

singing in Chicago clubs as a teenager. Although he was ready to hit the road at 18, his mother

intervened and he continued his musical education at the Roosevelt Institute in Chicago. Freddy

moved to New York in 1951, where he studied at Julliard and found himself profoundly influenced

by John Lewis, Oscar Peterson and Teddy Wilson. It was back in New York that Freddy successfully laid the

groundwork for a career that continues to flourish to this day. He developed a vast repertoire of songs in Manhattan

bistros and concurrently began to supplement his live performances with television and radio commercial jingle work.

Freddy recorded several albums for European and English companies during the 1970s that helped him develop a

loyal overseas following. He developed a stand-up act, a better rapport with audiences, and learned to sing in other

languages. He plays piano and sings and performs live with guitar, drums and upright bass. He has emerged from the

awesome shadow cast by his elder brother, Nat King Cole. In truth, his phrasing is far closer to that of Frank Sinatra or

Billie Holiday than that of his brother and his timing swings a little more. His vocals – suave, elegant, formidable, and

articulate – are among the most respected in jazz. Cole’s career continues to ascend as he has moved into the front

ranks of America’s homegrown art form with a style and musical sophistication all his own..

All tickets for this event (except sponsor, life, and corporate member tickets) may be purchased from the Ware

Center’s Box office - (717) 871-2308 - or their website - www.millersville.edu/ware-center/

CHRISTIAN HOWES Southern ExposureOn Sunday, October 13 at 3:00 pm at The Allen Theater in Annville, CPFJ proudly presents Christian

Howes and his group - Southern Exposure. Jazz violinist Christian Howes grew up in Columbus, Ohio,

where he studied classically from the age of five, performing as a soloist with the Columbus Symphony

Orchestra at age 16 and later receiving his bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Ohio State University.

At age twenty, a “cultural intervention” occurred when Christian had the opportunity to perform at regular gospel

church services and it became his mission to become a violinist with a strong voice in jazz. Since his shift 21 years

ago, he has gained great notoriety from critics and players alike as one of the world's most respected jazz violinists.

Christian was a favorite of the late guitar legend Les Paul, with whom he worked for 11 years. An in-demand violinist

on the New York scene, He collaborates with a bevy of top shelf jazz artists, including Greg Osby, Frank Vignola,

Dafnis Prieto, Dave Samuels, Spyro Gyra, and a 4-year chair in Bill Evans' “Soulgrass” band. In 2013, he was voted

among the top three violinists in JazzTimes' 2012 Expanded Critics Poll. In August 2011, Christian was ranked as the

#1 “Rising Star” violinist in the Downbeat Critics Poll and was a nominee for the Jazz Journalists Association's

“Violinist Of The Year” in 2011. In 2012, he received the Residency Partnership from Chamber Music America for his

work in outreach with orchestral He regularly tours throughout Asia, Europe, and the U.S. as aeducation programs.

leader of his own groups and a soloist with orchestras. Says All About Jazz, ”as a jazz violinist he has no peer.” The

Minneapolis Tribune called Christian “ arguably the most intriguing young violinist in jazz.”

We are happy to be back at the Allen Theatre for this performance. Food and drink are available in their M.J.’s

Coffeehouse during and after the performance. We will host a Jam Session following the concert in M.J.’s and all

aspiring jazz musicians are welcome to sit in - this is a regular site for CPFJ Jam Sessions from September through

Cedar Walton, a pianist and composer who worked with almost every major jazz performer of his era, from John Coltraneto Art Blakey to Abbey Lincoln, and who was honored as a National Endowment for the Arts jazz master, died August 19at his home in Brooklyn at the age of 79. For more than 50 years, pianist and composer Walton was one of the mostrespected figures in jazz. He appeared on more than 400 albums — including 60 as a leader — but somehow Mr. Waltonremained something of an overlooked master, acknowledged by people in the jazz world but little known to the wider public.He was perhaps best known for his work with Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers in the early 60's. During that time hecomposed some of their best known tunes..."Mosaic", "Bolivia" and "Mode for Joe". Called “one of the best pianists andcomposers” for the last half-century , Mr. Walton was named a Jazz Master in 2010 by the National Endowment for the Arts.Central PA jazz fans were fortunate to have many opportunities to see Mr. Walton in the area over the years - he preformedfive concert for CPFJ, the last in 2010. Cedar Waltonis survived by his wife, Martha.

Marian McPartland, jazz pianist and long time host of NPR's Piano Jazz has died at age 95 at her home in PortWashington, NY. After beginning her career in British music halls, Marian McPartland came to the United States andbecame a most unexpected jazz star. She forged a distinctive style on piano, made scores of albums and composedmusic that was recorded by superstars. But her greatest contribution to jazz came later in life, through her illuminatinginterviews and impromptu performances with musicians on her long-running NPR program, “Piano Jazz.” She was 61when the first “Piano Jazz” episode, with pianist Billy Taylor, aired in 1979. By the time she stepped away from theseries in 2011, Ms. McPartland had won a Peabody Award for broadcasting and a Grammy Award for lifetimeachievement. She also helped a generation learn about jazz through her searching interviews, conducted in herdulcet-toned, sometimes irreverent, British-accented voice. “Marian McPartland has done more for jazz pianists thananyone in the entire world,” jazz impresario George Wein said in 1991. Marian performed a concert for the Friends ofJazz in the 1980's and appeared in Central PA at Music at Gretna and at HACC’s Rose Lehrman Auditorium. She wasmarried to jazz musician Jimmy McPartland who died in 1991.

This month has brought news of the deaths of two great musicians and an author who had connections to CPFJ.We honor their contributions to the music, send condolences to their families, and will miss them all....

Marian McPartland1918-2013

Cedar Walton1934-2013

Albert Murray1916-2013

Alabama born, Albert L. Murray was an African-American literary and jazz critic, novelist, photographer, essayist, poet,and biographer. Murray conceived the idea of Jazz at Lincoln Center and was co-founder of that institution withWynton Marsalis. He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, a Tuskegee Airman, retiring with the rank of Major in 1962.After leaving the service, he began writing in earnest and his book “The Omni-Americans” received critical acclaim.He was the co-author of Count Basie’s autobiography “Good Morning Blues” and was well known among jazz masters.In 2005, Murray wrote the foreword to the Central PA Friends of Jazz 25th Anniversary Book - “ To A Harmony WithOur Souls” - concluding that, “for over 25 years the Central PA Friends of Jazz has been one of the major jazzorganizations in the United States. By continuing their work, they help preserve the highest and best qualities ofAmerican culture. This book illustrates how a small community can make a meaningful contribution to the art and theartist through persistence and dedication.” He visited Harrisburg and our concerts five times from 1988 to 1993 andserved on a Festival panel discussing the contributions of jazz and blues in American culture. Murray became a memberof the CPFJ Hall of Fame at our Central PA Jazz Festival in 1992. His novels “ ” (his scholarly, stylishStomping the Bluesnarrative of jazz music), “ ”, and “ ” are recommended reading and hisThe Hero and the Blues South to a Very Old Placeinfluence on the careers and thinking of American writers and critics Stanley Crouch, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison andmany others is undeniable. We are honored to have known him. Writer Charles P. Pierce said in his Esquire blog thisweek, “Somewhere in the Hereafter, there's an argument brewing, and a fine silver saxophone begins to play...”

D. Ware

From "Jazzin' on the Pride" to the last note of a stellar Jam Session at Gullifty's, this year's Jazz Festival was a tribute

to our local and regional jazz talent. Our Central PA Youth All-Star Band kicked off the Festival at Strawberry Square

on Thursday at noon. Led by the inimitable Ron Waters, the kids entertained the lunch crowd and performed a

program of jazz standards.

Later that night, a large crowd gathered on the Pride of the

Susquehanna to hear Dave Stahl on trumpet, along with Tom

Strohman (reeds), Wayne Fox (piano), Lew Leabman (drums) and Rob

Cochran (bass). A few boaters also dropped anchor close by to listen

to the swinging sounds. The weather co- operated, and our "cruisers"

were treated to a stellar evening of jazz.

Friday night, the JazzWalk attracted hundreds of jazz fans to downtown

Harrisburg and environs. Steve Rudolph, Jonathan Ragonese and

Peter Paulsen headlined The Bar at the Hilton to a standing room crowd

and, as usual, blew everyone away - literally! Katie Rudolph and her

Trio complimented the excellent food at Bricco with their smooth sounds.

Burnie Stevenson covered Happy Hour at Carley's with music and

song. Kevin Hurst on sax and Hasid Stevenson on guitar serenaded

the diners at Crawdaddy's uptown. MoMo's BBQ served up the Chris

Dean Band for some hot blues. Thanks to all the restaurants who

participated.

Saturday dawned sunny and warm...a perfect day for a picnic. For the

first time, CPFJ used the Carousel Pavilion at City Island...a great venue

for a Jazz Picnic. As usual, our Youth Band opened the program with a

set of great tunes. Fred Griggs, a member of the Youth Band for several years, was awarded our annual scholarship to

further his studies at Manhattan School of Music. The Scott Nelson Group followed with a set of tunes perfect for a

summer afternoon, including a great cover of "Take Five". The Dave Stahl Big Band closed the program with two sets

of unbelievable music that sent the crowd away happy!..

The Festival's final day opened with the traditional Jazz Brunchat the Hilton, where Steve Rudolph and Cathy Chemi provideddiners with a lovely interlude. Later in the day, Philadelphiadrum protégée Justin Faulkner charmed a crowd of dedicatedjazz fans with his sincere explanation of his craft and hisphilosophy of jazz. Justin then headlined the Jazz Jam Sessionwith St. Clair Simmons (trb/voc), Barry Long (trpt), JonathanRagonese (sax) Steve Rudolph, Micah Jones (b), and a cast oflocal musicians of all ages including Andy & Nicole Roberts,Klye Whale, Sean Reeser, Hadyn Deiner, Tony Grigonis, PeteLazorcik, Fred Griggs, Bruce Peters, Kelly Delaveris and more.It was a great evening of improv that rivaled the raging stormoutside Gullifty's that night.
