    Born in 1955 in Vancouver, Wash-ington (across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon), Chris Tyle is a second-generation jazz musician, playing cornet, clarinet, saxophone and drums. Tyle’s knowledge of early jazz music and its styles translates into a unique ability to eerily capture the sounds of the pioneers of jazz.

    Tyle’s father, Axel, hailed from Copenhagen, Denmark, and moved to Portland, Oregon as a child. As a stu-dent, Axel studied cornet and drums and played with early jazz groups on the West Coast. Axel was a founding member of the Castle Jazz Band, and in 1943, while stationed in Boston, played with jazz greats Sidney Bechet, Bunk Johnson and Pops Foster.

    As a teenager, Chris Tyle became interested in early jazz music, study-ing the music of jazz greats found in

    his father’s extensive record collection. By 21, Chris was playing cornet profes-sionally with his father in a group led by trumpeter and bassist Don Kinch (Don Kinch’s Conductors Ragtime Band.)

    In 1979, Tyle performed and recorded with the Turk Murphy Jazz Band of San Francisco. He then returned to Portland and formed a highly successful swing group, Wholly Cats, which featured vocalist Rebecca Kilgore and drummer Hal Smith. During the band’s six-year existence they were

    SUMMARY The Sac. Trad. Jazz Society is a non-profit orga-nization established under 501(c)(3) of the Inter-nal Revenue Code for the purpose of educating the public and members on matters concerning the preservation and promotion of traditional jazz music, and the study and play of musical instru-ments associated with traditional jazz music.

    2nd Sunday

    BIG news to report this month, at least for me it is! Earlier this year, the decision was made for me to step down as the Executive Director but stay on and continue to coordinate the talent for next year’s Festival. I will also assist our new: Executive Director, Tom Duff. As a past president and longtime festival volunteer, Tom is an excellent choice to lead our organization into the future. It pleases me that I will be able to share my 31 years of experience with him. Understanding the past and our mis-sion can help Tom continue to build that bridge into the future. The changeover is to occur October 1st of this year, so you will hear from me a few more times.

    Our Festival is our organization’s major fundraiser that has become a tra-dition in Sacramento (and throughout the world for that matter). I believe the changes we have made over the last couple of years have proved to be success-ful and have also proved we are moving in the right direction if we are to keep our event alive and thriving. Sadly, so many other festivals have not survived.

    Tom’s relationship with our vol-unteers is positive and strong. He has worked right alongside of them “in the trenches,” which will serve him well.

    Serving as Executive Director is no walk in the park. It can be a very diffi-cult job at times, but I have no doubt he will excel.

    What do you all think of the move to Elks Lodge #6 for our Jazz Sundays? I don’t know how many of you can remember a few years back when we were there. “The Joint was Jumping” every second Sunday of the month; I remember it well. I keep saying it will just be a matter of time before we get back there again. Those were some fun days! Maybe, just maybe, some of our Gold Card Musicians that we haven’t seen for awhile will come back? I sure hope so; those really were some fun days! Hope to see you soon!

    President’s Messageby Ron Jones STJS PRESIDENT

    < ro n j o n e s @ s a c j a z z . co m >

    June was our first month back at Riverside Elks #6 for Jazz Sunday. As I mentioned last month, we were forced to make a sudden move from the Dante Club, and the transition went smoothly. Big thanks to Judy Hendricks and her crew for step-ping up and getting all of our equipment moved out of the Dante and into Elks #6. They did a great job.

    This month, we are featuring Chris Tyle, a talented cornet-ist and multi-instrumentalist from Portland, OR. (Perhaps you know him as a drummer in Bob Schulz’ Frisco Jazz Band.) And you won’t want to miss the Elks’ Sunday Buffet Breakfast from 9:00 to 11:00 am for only $9 per person—a great way to start a great day of music.

    We have a lot going on this summer! Our annual Tradi-tional Jazz Camp for ADULTS takes place at the Sly Park Environmental Education Center, July 27–Aug 1st. Then on August 2, Jim and Jeannette Galloway will host our 3rd annual Trad. Jazz Camp Kickoff & Fundraiser concert featuring The Professors. This fun event includes a full barbecue dinner and concert in a beautiful backyard setting, all for only $40 per person. For ticket information, contact [email protected] or call 916-712-1501. Tickets are limited, so don’t wait!

    August 4–9 is the YOUTH Trad. Jazz Camp, after which the kids return to play for our Jazz Sunday on August 10th. These kids are phenomenal, and it is a great opportunity to see what our Jazz Camp is all about. We’ll also get to hear from former Camp-ers who take time out of their summer to volunteer as Camp Counselors to mentor the next generation of jazz musicians.

    The 2014 Music Festival is now in the history books, and the jury is still out as to how financially successful it was. As most of you know, we made a conscious decision to diver-sify the music in an effort to make the festival more lucrative. Some folks have had a hard time adjusting to this transition. I tried to hear as many bands as possible, including the rock, blues and country groups, and the headliners. (The Sunday per-formance by Collective Soul drew over 4,000 people!) I also made an effort to hear the trad and other jazz groups, which comprised about half of the bands in the festival. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the music. I would be interested to hear your thoughts—feel free to email them to me at [email protected]

    Have a great day! 2

    Chris Tyle (cont.)frequently joined by visiting jazz artists such as Bill Berry, Dave McKenna, Dave Frishberg, Scott Hamilton and Butch Thompson. In 1989, Tyle moved to New Orleans where he performed and recorded with many of the Crescent City’s best known artists:

    While living in New Orleans, Tyle performed at the French Quarter Fest every year from 1989 to 2002. In October 1992, Tyle formed the Silver Leaf Jazz Band, which performed six nights a week at the Can-Can Jazz Café in the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street. During that stint, the band recorded seven compact discs for Good Time Jazz, Stomp-Off Records, and Jazzology. See discography on his website for more info: www.mediaweavers.net/christyle.htm

    Tyle has many recordings to his credit. His first was with the Turk Murphy Jazz Band, and since that time, he has recorded over 50 CDs on the Stomp-Off, Jazzology, G.H.B. and Good Time Jazz labels as a member of several different bands: the Down Home Jazz Band, the Frisco Syncopators, Ted des Plan-tes Louisiana Swingers, Tommy Sancton’s Crescent City Ser-enaders, Jacques Gauthe’s Creole Rice Jazz Band, John Gill’s Dixieland Serenaders, Hal Smith’s Rhythmakers, the Minstrels of Annie Street, Duke Heitger’s Swing Band, Duke Heitger’s Steamboat Stompers, Tim Laughlin Jazz Band, Barry Mar-tyn’s Arrowhead Jazz Band, Andrew Hall’s Society Jazz Band, Andrew Hall’s Society Brass Band, Banu Gibson’s New Orle-ans Hot Jazz, Gambit Jazzmen (in England), and as leader of the Silver Leaf Jazz Band and New Orleans Rover Boys.

    YOUTH Jazz Camp has room for 1 pianist!

    ADULT Jazz Camp has room for all who are inter-ested, on whatever instrument they play, espe-cially bass and drums. We are happy to have play-ers at all ability/experience levels, from beginners to professionals. We’re especially interested in recruiting teachers who would like to learn how to play traditional jazz so that they can form bands at their schools. The way Adult camp is structured, we don’t have to limit applicants, nor do we need to “fill” any particular instrument group. Join us!

    BOOM. Just like that, we’ve moved our operation back to .Elks Lodge #6 with guitarist Bob Leary as our first guest. The last time we met at Riverside Elks was June 2002 with Dan Comins (of South Frisco and Titanic Jazz Band). We had a hint several months ago that the Elks would like to have us back, so when we needed a place for the June 8 Jazz Sunday, we had someone to talk to. We’re thrilled to return.

    Kate Rees pinpointed a couple of reasons we’re happy with the move: the rooms are far enough apart that we don’t have to worry about keeping doors shut to prevent sound bleed, there’s sufficient room in the ballroom so those who want to talk can move to the back (out of earshot), and it just feels like home base! Paul Edgerton commented on how hospitable everyone was.

    Hank Henderson said it was difficult to find his way here (Fix50 road work not helping that process, but that’s done now). He wondered if we could print a map until we all get ori-ented. Hank just got a replacement for his lost Gold Card, and played for the first time in two years. His heart doctor told him not to, but he’s 90 years old—for Pete’s sake, what’s he saving

    it for? Pat and Anne Cummings and Janet Conover men-tioned the longer drive, but all said they love the space. From the Admissions Desk: Coralie Cochrane likes the set-up, and her daughter, JoJo Monson, said it feels warmer, homier.

    Bob Gonzales thought the extra space gave us a lot of pos-sibilities, and Kathy Becker repeated a common refrain that the in-and-out is easier, it is cleaner, bigger, with better access. Bill Cook, Tony Bellacera’s friend/driver, said he wasn’t too thrilled when he heard, but changed his mind after they got inside; there are a lot more amenities.

    Vanna Turner likes the sound in the ballroom. Parker Weis liked it, too—said the acoustics are really good. Jean Alley said it is comfortable and handy for her. Luanne Strom agreed that it is clean, open. You can see the performers better, and the food and drinks are reasonable. Mable Burhans likes that she’s no longer stuck making a narrow hallway even more cramped with her record tables. (No more Jazz Cakes, though, or any other outside snacks, please. The Elks will have food sales on site.)

    Jane Reinmuth thought it was wonderful to be back in the old Woodshed. She might have to fend off a takeover bid from Paula Dula for the Gold Card, even though the GCR no longer has to deal with intermittent refrigeration. Beth Jones is fine

    with the move, and Jeanette Galloway said, “We’ve moved before!” Indeed we have. And she said they were lovin’ Leary.

    From our hosts: Irma Peralta said it is wonderful to have us back. Since her husband, Hank, is the current Exalted Leader, she’s the Elks Lodge’s First Lady. Vera Lambert is a member of the House Committee that voted to have us, so she’s very happy. Vera was a volunteer for 20 years at Freeway Gardens, “the best” Jubilee venue! Muff Keating (husband is Jim) was serving breakfast; she said she was an STJS volunteer when we were there last. In fact, there was only one negative, and we can fix that. Betty Gadberry commented that we had an “Olympic” size dance floor. She thinks everybody likes a little companionable jostling, which is probably true. Guest Artist Bob Leary men-tioned the same thing: the audience was too far away, although he said the acoustics are lovely; it was easy to play in the room.

    So we’ll tinker some with the set-up, to keep the spacious dance floor, but reduce the distance between stage and audi-ence. And we’ll all work to spread the word that we’ve moved, which we didn’t have time to do for June. It’s a great spot, we just need to fill it up with audiences. (The Elks will be publi-cizing our meetings in their newsletter, too.) Tell your friends!

    Mica Dugan’s River City Swingers, the jazz ensemble

    portion of the Sacramento Youth Band, got to inaugurate the Main Stage. Trumpets: Jared Blum (sort of a ringer in this group of otherwise 10-18 year olds), Eric Treadwell, Grady Flamm, Kelsey Smith and Antonio Novoa-Castillo (the last two traded off front-line duties. Brandon Charriere, Sophia Flores, Sophie Modar and Arthur Eriksson did the same on alto sax. Cathy Charriere and Joanna Koford were on tenor sax (with Joanna also on vocals), and Cody McFarland was on baritone sax. Thomas Monce was on trombone. Ran-deep Chana and Montana Monce shared piano duties, and Ryan Ioanidis and Adam Bly were the bass players. Westin Pritchard was on guitar and banjo, and Dana Wendel was on the drum throne.

    Of course, the Youth Bands come with families galore. Sophie’s parents, Denise and Roy Modar were there, as were Grady’s parents, Kelly and Jason Flamm, and Ryan’s parents, Paul and Melinda Ioanidis. Brandon and Cathy’s mother, Cathy Charriere, brought their grandmother, Mary Mauch. Antonio’s sister, Elizabeth, was there with their mother, Michelle Novoa-Castillo. Elizabeth is also a member of the SYB, playing drums.

    Several of the band members were heading off to another SYB event. Lydia Monce was there (Continued on page 10)

    to chauffeur grandson Thomas. Montana stayed with us for the afternoon, but his sister (and clone, I swear!) Maya went off with the troop to the next gig. Maya plays bass. Jazz Dynasty in the making!

    Guest Getter Bob Ringwald had the really good idea of presenting our Guest Artist in a quartet setting. Bob Leary was joined by Paul Edgerton on reeds, Bob Williams on trom-bone, and Darrell Fernandez (Set 2) and Lenny Pollacchi (Set 4) on bass. You’ll notice there was no piano and no drums in either set, and it was fantastic! Darrell and Lenny both gave great support, and the front line trio sparkled. Leary is a great musician (great strings and vocals) who brings huge experi-ence as an entertainer. He wooed us and amused us—Pat and Anne Cummings said they hadn’t heard “A Huggin’ and a Chalkin’” in years!

    Charlie Gehlbach, John Tanko, Jay Paulus, Carl Kaiser, Jim Elsaas, Jerry Lopes, Bruce Turley and Angela Elsaas were the Set 3 band. Jerry Lopes has been the Director of the Capitol Pops Concert Band for lo, these many years, but has announced that the August 28 Fair Oaks Park concert will be his final appearance at the podium. That will just allow him more time for Dr. Bach or the American River College Orches-tra or STJS. Right? By the way, Dr. Bach & the Jazz Practi-tioners will be at Fair Oaks Park the week before the Pops. Swing Masters on August 7. Tom Rigney July 31. Wow. Maybe you should just go to http://fairoakspark.org/events/summer/concerts-in-the-park for the full (free) schedule. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

    The Tailgate Room has a completely new configuration and sort of an out-of-the-way location, which didn’t seem to faze Bob Sumners or Hank Henderson, horn players on Set 1. They were joined by Bob Gonzales, Dominic Ruggieri, Frank Lindskoog, Jan Buhlert and Tony Bellacera. Set 2 included Ken Champion, Parker Weis, Billie Menz and Jack Orlov on drums.

    Jane Reinmuth said that Grady Flamm is progressing as a band leader. He was joined by Claire Parker on trombone, Jared Eastlick on reeds, Kaiser on piano and Bill Cham-berlain on drums. Set 4 had Justin Au and Jared Blum on trumpet; Gonzales on trombone; Rich Lockwood and Parker Weis on reeds; Montana Monce on piano; Ned Poffinbarger on banjo; Brandon Au on tuba, and Mica Dugan and Todd Morgan splitting drum time. Jane Reinmuth said it was her considered opinion, after many years as Director of the Tail-gate, that this was one of her all-time favorite sets! Justin and Brandon Au were summoned to the Main Stage to convert Bob Leary’s second guest set into a sextet, and that was super!

    Lindskoog, Poffinbarger, Lockwood and Morgan were delightful as Set 5, and then Todd’s parents, Barbara and

    (Cont. from page 9) Jerry Morgan, tore down the drum set and helped put away the piano. Thank you! Todd, by the way, was the winner of “Silo’s Idol” in Napa at the end of May. Big congrats! He also made an appearance in the Vocal Set in the Gold Card Room. He was the penultimate performer with “Some of These Days.” And with backing from the Vocal Set band, including Ken Meyers on piano, he had scope for some moves to go with the voice! But that wasn’t the biggest shock of the set. That would be Charlie Hull, who put down his reeds and sang “Old Shoe Blues,” which pretty much blew everybody away.

    The Vocal Set also included Harry DuVall on “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” He was just back from Monterey and Santa Rosa with The Four Lads. Edd Burhans begged, “Make the World Go Away” (his next novel is going to be sci fi)! Joanna Koford said, “You Make Me Feel So Young” (!), and Vanna Turner essayed Spanish lyrics on a lovely “Piel Canela.” She hadn’t played maracas before but did just fine.

    Did I mention the rest of the Vocal Set backup band? Didn’t think so. That would be Charlie Hull, Alan Ginter and Jack Stanfill on drums. Jack said he just retired after 33 years—33 YEARS—as a classroom music teacher! San Juan Unified is one of the few districts in the country that still maintains class-room music teachers; Jack said there are 16 or 17 of them in the district. He figures he has taught about 10,000 students!

    Great to have Shelley Burns in the Vocal Set. She sang “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t?” Jay Casl sang a lovely Mercer and Arlen tune called “This Time the Dream’s on Me.” Todd Morgan took over the piano bench for Paula’s “Give Me One Reason to Stay Here,” with Clint Ritchie on tambourine. That isn’t a complete Vocal Set list by any means! You should stop in and give a listen.

    Nor was it the only top notch set in the GCR. Set 1 had the reappearance of Pat Blucher on piano, with Ken Champion; Kaiser; Gene Mondro and Lockwood; Mark Kramer; Eddi Benjamini; and Dan Lobay. Gehlbach, Paulus and Tanko previewed their Main Stage set with Lockwood, Kaiser, Lobay and Dave Sieber on Set 2. Set 4 was Jared Blum; Kaiser on trombone; Ruggieri, Buhlert, Monce; and Bellacera. They ended the day with Blum and Champion; Kaiser; Ruggieri; Poffinbarger; Bellacera; and Todd Troutman on piano.

    Both Ken Meyers and Paula Dula welcomed new mem-bers into their families that week, so both were outa there when the last note rang out. Congratulations to everybody, especially the Moms who did the work.

    We all have a Festival story, right? My favorite Jubilee story involves Trombone Shorty. He’s backstage at Turntable on the Green, and is hailed by Olivia Flournoy, trombonist with TNT, who is on the outside of the fence. But she made sure he heard her: “I need to talk to you!” Since she’s out-

    side the fence, he must perforce go to her. He must have been impressed with what she had to say, because he’s promised to send her a trombone when he gets back to New Orleans. Way to go, Olivia.

    In some ways, as you know, it was a really rough Festival. I couldn’t look at that big Elks dance floor without thinking of Tom Arnold’s elegant figure with his dance partner, Ingrid Wolbart. We’re also missing Bob Himebauch, whose most recent job was folding Jazz Sunday programs, but he was an enthusiastic member of the Grunt Crew for years. Then we lost Peggy Butler days later. Chuck and Peggy were real support-ers and volunteers. All will be missed.

    Even if you haven’t been to JB’s Lounge for their Sunday Evening Jazz, you ought to put it on your calendar after Jazz Sunday on July 13. Vivian Lee and Cynthia Douglas will present a tribute to Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughn, and celebrate the 11th Anniversary of Sunday Evening Jazz. (916.723.5517 extension 3.) Vivian and her quintet played to a standing room only crowd in the Crocker’s Courtyard recently.

    Also make note that on Aug. 2, The Professors will per-form at the 3rd annual Jazz Camp Kickoff & Fundraiser—a concert and BBQ Dinner with proceeds benefitting our Youth Jazz Camp. Call Patti Jones at 916.712.1501 for tickets. (See ad on page 4).

    Cline Wine & Dixieland Jazz Festival www.clinecellars.com/jazzfestival has Devil Mountain and a half-dozen more trad, trad, trad favorites, including Frederick Hodges, Bob Hirsch and Virginia Tichenor. Bring a picnic or buy goodies on the grounds of the lovely park.

    And above all, see you July 13 at Elks #6 for fabulous Port-land cornetist Chris Tyle. 2

    In Loving Memory

    ELKS LODGE SERVES BREAKFAST!

    What’s in a name? Whether it’s a desire to broaden the fan base, or a need to reflect a change of venue, events will take the bold step of renaming and rebranding. The Sacramento Music Festival is not the first to undergo a name change, and we won’t be the last. Sometimes it’s optional, sometimes it’s mandatory. Here are two jazz events coming this fall that have made the switch:

    MEDFORD, OR

    Originally called Medford Jazz Jubilee, then Medford Jazz Festival in more recent history, this jazz and music festi-val is now called the Southern Oregon Music Festival. Their reasoning: to better reflect how much the festival has grown and diversified. In addition to jazz, they will present rhythm and blues, doo-wop, jump jive, swing, zydeco, rockabilly, funk and many other genres.

    According to Executive Director Dennis Ramsden, “This is about all kinds of music and all of it is danceable,” says Ramsden. There will still be some Dixieland jazz. “We’ll never give up our roots, of course, but it’s time to broaden the appeal and shift the focus,” says Ramsden. It’s coming up soon, October 10–12, 2014. www.somusicfest.org

    CHAUTAUQUA to CLEVELAND

    The premier jazz party started by record producer Joe Boughton in 1982, originally called the Conneaut Lake Jazz Festival, underwent its first change when it moved in 1997 to Chautauqua, NY. Renamed Jazz at Chautauqua, it continued there with great success.

    Then Joe Boughton passed away in 2010, and change is coming once again under new direction: Nancy Griffith and her mother, Kathy Hancock, are moving this popular jazz party to their home town of Cleveland, Ohio. The new name: the Allegheny Jazz Party. They claim it’s the “same great party, same musicians, but a different location.” You can find out September 18–21, 2014. www.alleghenyjazz.org

    Letter to Editor Greetings to all of you who continually support our music and musicians!

    We have yet one more opportunity for you! My hus-band Ron and I are hosting a very special backyard event next month that you might want to be part of. We  want to help Sister Swing raise the funds to get them (Valerie, Paula and Leigh) to the 2014 Boswell Sisters Exposition in New Orleans later this year, where they will be singing alongside other Boswell sister groups from around the world.

    Naturally, being perennial party-givers, this seemed a splendid opportunity to gather with friends and share music, laughter, food and fun! So, the party fundraiser will be on Thursday, August 7th at our house, 6:00 to 9:30 p.m. Your $60 contribution includes beverages, lots of hors d’oeuvres, a private concert by Sister Swing, and a commemorative Sister Swing CD. PLUS the Ron Jones Trio featuring Bob Draga! Seating is limited to 60 at this event, so reserve your spot early: 712-1501 or 483-5453. If you cannot attend but would like to support the cause, visit Sister Swing’s website at www.sisterswing.com for information on how to contribute.

    Thanks! Patti Jones
