Jazz Me

Sponsored by JC Taylor

The Jazz Me Rhythm & Blues Band was formed over 5 years ago, and is usually comprised of four South Central Pa Musicians.

Jazz Me is considered a variety band in that they perform everything from Sinatra to Santana, Motown to ZZ Top and everything in between. Because of this wide variety of songs, the band can entertain virtually any age group.

Jazz Me has been awarded one of the "Best Of" bands several times by the Sentinel readers, and was named "Simply the Best " in the Harrisburg Magazine's Readers Choice poll for both 2010 and 2011. Whether it's a wedding or an area club, the Jazz Me Band will not only play and sing professionally, but with feeling and excitement for all to enjoy.

Included are Mitch Gregory of Camp Hill with the lead vocals and harmonica, Kirk Wise from Mechanicsburg who handles the bass as well as vocals, while Doug Brenner of Lewisberry wails on the guitar and also sings occasionally with three part harmony, and finally Josef Brye of Camp Hill who keeps the beat going on the drums.

In late September 2010 the band released their sixth cd project entitled Mo' Jazz Me rhythm & blues, which was preceded last year by their Christmas CD named, Jazzy...with a Chance of Flurries.

Twice voted "Simply the Best Musician" and twice voted "Reader's Choice" in Harrisburg Magazine's annual poll, she performs both solo and with her duo (with bassist Jim Miller) and trio (bassist Jim Miller and saxophonist Tom Strohman) and quartet (bassist Jim Miller, saxophonist Tom Strohman and drummer Dave Lazorcik).

Students of all levels and ages are welcome. Various materials are used to suit the needs of each student, including Christopher Norton's "Microjazz" series, Faber and Faber's graded lesson materials, Berklee School of Music theory and scale workbooks, Hanon studies and a variety of classical, jazz and popular pieces. There is an emphasis on theory and students are also encouraged to learn how to read lead sheets (melody line with chord symbols) in addition to written music. School-aged students are asked to join the school jazz band and also may participate in the Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz Youth Band, led by Ronald Waters.

Students receive assignment sheets at each lesson, which take place once a week for 50 minutes. Between lessons students are encouraged to telephone with questions about lesson materials. The teacher and student work together: the teacher's role is to facilitate the act of learning, the student's is to do the necessary practice.
