CENTRAL PA JAZZ CAMP June 15 - 18, 2016 MESSIAH COLLEGE
CPFJ’s annual Jazz Camp was a resounding success again this year with over 75 students attending!
Our thanks to Dr. Bill Stowman and the staff at Messiah College for welcoming us to the campus again
this year - it was our 15th Annual Central PA Jazz Camp and the 7th at Messiah College!
The year’s outstanding faculty included special guests Steve Wilson & Stefon Harris.
We thank the Olewine Family Trust for their loyal underwriting of the Camp and we extend our
gratitude to Penn National Insurance, The Hall Foundation, The Children’s Home Foundation
and private donors for providing scholarships for fourteen students. We will have the dates for
next year’s camp soon, so be sure to share the information with your young musician friends and
have them join us at next year’s Camp - it’s a very inspiring!

CENTRAL PA FRIENDS OF
2016 FALL CONCERT SERIES
We kick off this series with our third year of hosting an evening at the Dauphin Co.
Jazz & Wine Fest at Ft. Hunter Park on September 9th. We feature two groups - the
legendary jazz organist Dr. Lonnie Smith and his Trio, and an ensemble lead by
rising star steel pan player - Leon Foster Thomas. Sponsor, Corporate and Life
Members of CPFJ will be mailed tickets. All other members must order tickets from
the Dauphin County Parks and Recreation website. Tickets are $30 and include all
three days of the Festival with wine tastings and much more! We are grateful to the
Dauphin County Commissioners for the generous grant that funded this event.
Our second Fall Concert on October 9th features the critically acclaimed tenor player
from New York City - Harry Allen. He will be bringing a quintet that features the
wonderful vocalist Hilary Gardner. An authentic master of the jazz saxophone
tradition, Harry is right at home with the timeless music of George Gershwin, Cole
Porter, and Duke Ellington. His style of playing certainly recaptures the essence of the
ultra cool sound and the easy, lyrical phrasing of Stan, Al and Zoot. This event will be
hosted in a new venue for CPFJ - the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center. The Center was
originally the Jewish Community Center of Harrisburg and has a 2nd floor ballroom
that will serve as a classic backdrop for Harry’s traditional ensemble.
We close our 36th Concert Season on November 27th with a true jazz legend guitarist Pat Martino. Pat’s storied career has included recordings with Chick
Corea, Dave Holland, Eric Kloss, Groove Holmes & Jack MacDuff and he has been at
the forefront of the jazz guitar world since the mid-60’s. Since playing his first notes
while still in his pre-teenage years, Martino has been recognized as one of the most
exciting and virtuosic guitarists in jazz. With a distinctive, fat sound and gutwrenching performances, he represents the best not just in jazz, but in music. We
return to the beautiful brewery and distillery, Wyndridge Farm, just outside of
York, PA, for this performance with Pat’s exciting Trio.
FALL CONCERT SERIES:

The Central PA Friends of Jazz thanks
The Brenner Family of Dealerships
for helping us get the
JAZZMOBILE
back on the road!!
Please donate to the Ron Waters
Scholarship Fund and support our area’s
talented young musicians. Annual
scholarships go to high school seniors
entering college for music as well as grants
for students of all ages to attend our CPFJ
Jazz Camp. You may donate on our website

CENTR AL PA FRIENDS O F
JOIN THE CPFJ YOUTH 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
erinjazz01@gmail.com - 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
interests. 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, the JazzMobile, and concerts -
come join the fun!!

arranging for facilities, advertising, and all the things that are required to organize our Festival cost
money...quite a bit of money! Like all arts groups, CPFJ must rely on financial support from those who
appreciate and understand the value of live jazz. Our membership fees, ticket prices and grants only cover
approximately 65% of the costs to produce concerts and festivals. We need your support for the 36th Annual
Central PA Jazz Festival to succeed.

with your tax-deductible contribution and let us list your name as a supporter in the program booklet. You

take an ad in the program to promote your business or organization. The program will highlight all of the
events and artists for the Festival and will be distributed at all Festival events and our Fall Concert Series (from
August through November, 2016).
.
The deadline for inclusion in our program is fast approaching. If you are interested, please give us a call or
complete the form on the next page and mail it to us right away or go to our website and use our ONLINE

WE'RE BUILDING A LIBRARY & STORE
.
As some of you may have heard, we recently doubled our
office space at 5721 Jonestown Road, Harrisburg,
allowing us for the first time to have a library/shop.
Concurrently, we received a very generous bequest from
Joseph Shaw of York...almost 3,000 cd's, hundreds of lp's,
and other music formats.
Here's where you might be able to help us. We need
folding tables (72’ preferably) and shelves that can hold a
fair amount of weight. We don't need a lot of them...our
space isn't that big...but two tables and two sets of shelv es
would be great.
If you have these items as surplus OR if you know of
someone who might have them OR if you would like to
contribute some green, just let us know. We would like
to get this space arranged so that members could see the
whole collection, and so that we can accept more
donations from other members and friends - please
contact the Office for more information.
