EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Once again, our Music Committee and Chairman Tim Warfield, Jr. have arranged a
great lineup of artists. We are again grateful to the Shearer Family Fund and Scott
Shearer for underwriting the Spring Concert Series - without their help we would be
unable to present these artists in Central PA. Please attend these events and
remember that we maintain the highest musical standards - if you missed our April 6th
concert, I am truly sorry. Cecile McLorin Salvant is a rising star vocalist and she and
the Aaron Diehl Trio really delivered. She will be in the jazz stratosphere very soon
and we are pleased to have presented her early in her career. The audience response
was enthusiastic and deserved. Please make an effort to attend the May 25th event at
WITF - two more amazing artists - Ehud Asherie and Ken Peplowski - story on pg. 4.

We have been awarded a generous grant from the Dauphin County Commissioners
that will enable us to present a concert on September 5th at Fort Hunter Park as part
of the Dauphin County Jazz & Wine Festival. The Festival’s regular schedule is on
September 6th & 7th and our added evening will bring mainstream jazz to the event
which has been predominantly “smooth” jazz in past years. We have secured the
services of jazz vocalist Rene Marie and our own Tim Warfield, Jr. will bring his
popular Organ Band featuring organist Pat Bianchi. This event will serve as the first
concert in our annual Fall Concert Series. For those of you who haven’t attended the
Festival previously, there is a very large tent that protects the audience and stage area
from the elements and the concerts go on rain or shine. Sponsor, Corporate, and Life
Members of CPFJ will get free tickets to the entire weekend and there will be wine
tasting and food available for purchase during our concert and the entire weekend.
This event adds more value to our Sponsor & Corporate memberships - JOIN or
RENEW NOW!! Tickets are available for purchase now from the Dauphin Co. Parks
and Recreation website - look for the Festivals and Special Events page. We are
grateful to the Commissioners for their support of CPFJ.
Our 34th Annual Central PA Jazz Festival will include a concert at Mt. Gretna
Playhouse on August 10th with Philadelphia bassist Lee Smith’s Sextet and Hendrik
Meurkens Samba Jazz Quartet. We thank Music at Gretna for offering to co-host a
concert in this wonderful facility. Planning for the Festival should be complete in time
for the June newsletter, so keep an eye on our website for updates in Festival artists
and events. A JazzWalk, Picnic, Riverboat Cruise and workshops will be included in
this annual jazz feast. The CPFJ Board has voted to move the 2015 Festival to April
or May, enabling us to incorporate more educational components with performances
by area high schools and youth groups.

CPFJ 2013 SPRING CONCERT SERIES
Sunday, May 25th, 2014 3p.m.
Ehud Asherie & Ken Peplowski
WITF Public Media Center
4801 Lindle Rd Harrisburg PA 17111 Price: $20 Adults - $16 Members - $10 Students
This final concert in our Spring Concert Series features the dynamic
pianist Ehud Asherie and woodwind giant Ken Peplowski in an intimate
duo performance.
Ehud Asherie, "a master of swing and stride" (The New Yorker), is a jazz pianist who
integrates the venerable New York piano tradition into his inventive style. Born in Israel
in 1979, Asherie lived in Italy for six years before his family moved to New York.
Though he began playing piano as a child, his passion for jazz came later—with a
Thelonious Monk cassette tape—and his first visit to Smalls Jazz club in Greenwich
Village. Largely self-taught, or rather, “old-schooled,” Asherie learned the ropes at
Smalls, spending the wee small hours of his early teens becoming a fixture of the latenight jam sessions. Mentored by the late Frank Hewitt, Asherie began to develop “his
virtuosity and his ear for clean, crisp lines“ (The Star-Ledger). Finding his home at
Smalls, Asherie went from leading the Sunday night sessions to being featured, in
1999, with the Grant Stewart Quartet. Soon after, he headlined with his own trio, Trio
65, who went on to play a two-year engagement at the Rainbow Room, six nights a
week. Steeped in the jazz milieu, absorbing the work of his contemporaries, Asherie
grew to revere the lineage he evolved from. Having branched backwards in time, from
bebop to stride, Asherie views jazz as a living art form, an organic thing: each standard
tune open to a constant reinterpretation. It is this philosophy that caught the attention of
world-class saxophonist and collaborator Harry Allen, who called Asherie “…modern
yet traditional at the same time…in the most wonderful way.”
.
From Smalls to the Rainbow Room, from Lincoln Center to The Village Vanguard,
Asherie has worked with a broad range of musicians: Howard Alden, Eric Alexander,
Roy Ayers, Wycliffe Gordon, Scott Hamilton, Charles McPherson, Jane Monheit, Bob
Mover, Ken Peplowski and Clark Terry. Asherie tours clubs and festivals around the
world, including South America, Europe and Asia. He has released over ten albums,
five as leader, including Organic (Posi-tone, 2010) and a solo album entitled Welcome
to New York (Arbors, 2010). For a complete listing of albums, and more about Ehud
Asherie, please visit www.ehudasherie.com
Growiing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Ken Peplowski played his first pro engagement when he was still in elementary school.
“From my first time performing in public, I knew I wanted to play music for a living.” By the time Ken was in his early
teens, he was experimenting with jazz and after a year of college, Ken joined the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the
direction of Buddy Morrow. “I learned the discipline that goes with playing one-nighters every day for 48 weeks out of the
year, and Buddy was a great, very generous bandleader.” Peplowski studied with the legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt
and in 1980, Ken moved to New York City. He joined Benny Goodman’s new band in 1984 and signed with Concord
Records shortly after, recording 20 albums for them. He has played diverse venues - from small clubs to a sold out
performance at the Hollywood Bowl and he has been featured on soundtracks of Woody Allen movies, guest soloing on
many recordings. The litany of musicians Ken has collaborated with includes: Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Charlie Byrd,
Peggy Lee, George Shearing, Madonna, Hank Jones, Dave Frishberg, Rosemary Clooney, Tom Harrell, James Moody,
Cedar Walton, Houston Person, Steve Allen, Bill Charlap, Woody Allen, Marianne Faithfull, Isaac Delgado & Erich Kunzel.
Peplowski also does many workshops for students of all ages and is a Buffet-Crampon artist, and plays the R-13
clarinet,with a Portnoy mouthpiece and Van Doren German-cut reeds. He also plays a Yamaha tenor sax and a Berg
Larsen mouthpiece. Ken Peplowski has recorded approximately 50 CDs as a soloist, and close to 400 as a sideman. Ken
is the current musical director of the Oregon Festival Of American Music (OFAM), and is a longtime performer/consultant
to The Jazz Cruise, where he was placed into the Jazz Cruise Hall Of Fame in 2013. He resides in New York City with his
wife, dog, and whatever children happen to be passing through. “Mr. Peplowski sounds the way (Benny) Goodman might
if he had kept evolving, kept on listening to new music, kept refining his sound, polishing his craft, and expanding his
musical purview into the 21st century.” – Will Friedwald in The Wall Street Journal, December 2012
In 2014, Ken was the recipent of the Sarasota Jazz Festival’s “Satchmo” award, given to him for his “unique and enduring
contribution to the living history of jazz”. For more information on Ken, visit www.kenpeplowski.com

Please tell your young musical friends and relatives about
the 2014 Central PA Jazz Camp for students aged 10-21.
Brochures are now available - 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 10 a.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!

APRIL 6TH SPRING CONCERT
CECILE McLORIN SALVANT & THE AARON DIEHL TRIO
.
On Sunday, April 6th we gathered at the Grace M Pollock Center for the Performing Arts in
Camp Hill for a three part program of young players and singers. The word is out about
Cecile McLorin Salvant's talent and her recent awards, for the audience included many of
our veteran jazz fans along with several interstate guests. The evening began with the Tim
Wolfe, Jr. Trio: Mr. Wolfe- bass, Justin Morrell - guitar, Ryan Kauffman - saxophone.
They opened with several standards and the only original of the night, Mr. Wolfe's The Fox.
The playing was modern capable improvisations. Mr. Wolfe is a strong leader on bass. He
teaches the instrument at Lebanon Valley College and his groups can be found playing in
Lancaster and Philadelphia. CPFJ concessions has his new CD, Topics of Conversation.
The Trio was followed by the Camp Hill High School Jazz Vocal Ensemble, led by
educator David Shover. These 8 young voices sang Don't Get Around Much Anymore, My
Romance, and God Bless The Child with skill and enthusiasm, that overcame the canned
instrumental backing. Surely somewhere, Grace Pollock, who started out in show business,
was smiling along with the audience.
In short order, The Aaron Diehl Trio, Mr. Diehl-piano, Paul Sikivie - bass, and Peter Van
Nostrand - drums, were introduced. They started playing, Ms. Salvant walked to the
microphone, and began with I Only Have Eyes For You. It only took a few moments for us
recognize we were in the presence of a great Trio backing an extraordinary voice. The
audience was murmuring with delight along with shouts of approval. When Ms. Salvant used
her range, the names Sarah and Ella came to mind. With a few exceptions the concert
contained show tunes dating from mid century back to 1928. Ms. Salvant introduced each,
including the name of the composer and what show or movie originated the song. These
included Bert Williams' Nobody, Cole Porter's So In Love, Ted Furito's Laugh Clown, Laugh,
and The Trolley Song, (originally sung by Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis). These
kinds of songs have a story to tell about personality and emotion. Ms. Salvant sang these
dramatic stories convincingly. Her voice easily filled the room even as she held the
microphone at her waist. The piano accompaniment was often sparse, yet Mr. Diehl's solos
were intricate and masterful She continued with The Step Sister's Lament (from
Cinderella), He's Gone Again, Bob Dorough’s I'm Hip, and Blanche (sister of Cab)
Calloway's Growlin' Dan. Her vocal growling trumpet was simply amazing. She finished with
a sarcastic Wives and Lovers, Bernstein’s Something's Coming, and a bluesy duet encore
with the bass.
Keith Thomas, Vice President CPFJ
JOIN THE CPFJ YOUTH BAND
Director Ron Waters announced
that rehearsals have started for the
CPFJ Youth Band.
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. Directed by Ron Waters,
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!!

Lee Smith Group
“Sittin’ on a Secret”
Lee Smith – bass
Marc Adler – flute
Tim Thompson – trumpet
Tim Warfield, Jr. - sax
Joshua Richman – piano
Justin Faulkner – drums
Lee W. Smith was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and has had a great career, touring the world with many great musicians
from a wide range of styles. During Lee’s pre-jazz era, he toured internationally and recorded with several Philadelphia-based
R&B recording artists including the Delphonics and Billy Paul. This period was followed by a 5 year stint with Latin Jazz giant
Mongo Santamaria. Since then, Lee has worked with numerous jazz greats including Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, Erskine
Hawkins, Benny Golson, Bud Shank, Dizzy Gillespie, Cedar Walton, Donald Harrison, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Greg Osby, Roberta
Flack, Sonny Fortune, Odean Pope, Billy Hart, and Trudy Pitts. He is the father of three sons and one of them has grown to be a
jazz bass giant - Christian McBride. Promoting his wonderful new CD, Sittin’ on a Secret”, bassist Lee Smith brings most of the
band from the recording to our 34th Annual Central PA Jazz Festival. These players are all stars in modern jazz - many of you
will remember drummer Justin Faulkner from his regular gig with Branford Marsalis and from his appearance at our Jam
Session at last year’s Jazz Fest. Don’t miss this great band!
Hendrik Meurkens Samba Jazz Quartet
Hendrik Meurkens - harmonica, vibes
Misha Tsiganov - piano
Gustavo Amarante - bass Adriano Santos - drums
Hendrik Meurkens, a virtuoso on both the chromatic harmonica and the vibraphone, is the most important jazz harmonica
player since Toots Thielemans. German-born but now based in New York, Meurkens’ recordings and performances garner
worldwide acclaim because the transcendent beauty of his music has universal appeal. A two-mallet player in the tradition of
Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson, Hendrik Meurkens was en-route to being an instantly recognizable vibraphonist when he
heard Toots Thielemans. Inspired by the sound of Thielemans’ harmonica, he taught himself the difficult-to-master instrument.
As a featured artist, he has recorded with Charlie Byrd, Jimmy Cobb, Ivan Lins, Monty Alexander, Claudio Roditi, and Mundell
Lowe, as well as backing such leading artists as Astrid Gilberto and Olivia Newton John and touring with the Ray Brown Trio,
Paquito D’Rivera, Oscar Castro Neves, Herb Ellis, Herbie Mann, Charlie Byrd, and James Moody among many others. He has
recorded steadily with 22 Cds in his catalog. Hendrik remains equally at home playing jazz or Brazilian music. “My mission is
simple,” he explains. “I want to create music of great beauty.” With New York City based Russian pianist Tsiganov and Brazilian
players Amarante and Santos this should be a memorable performance. Tickets at http://gretnamusic.org/

with Ehud Asherie on May 25 at 3 pm at
the WITF Public Media Center? Well,
then, check out this track. And while you're
at it, also download “Tenderly” by Ben
Webster (originally released on the album
King of the Tenors and appearing on many
compilations) for comparison. What you'll
hear is Peplowski channeling Webster,
breathy vibrato and all! The tune, by the
way, was written by Sammy Cahn and
Julie Stein in 1946 and was originally
recorded by Frank Sinatra.
Now, don't you want to come out and hear
