Jessi Teich Hits #1 in Philly
Just a quick note to let you know that 10-time international songwriting award-winner JESSI TEICH (pronounced TEACH) hit a major milestone this week in her hometown of Philadelphia when “Sunday Morning,” from the New Jersey native’s stylish new Paris-recorded album, TWISTED SOUL (Madame Freak), landed at No. 1 this week (April 20) on tastemaker jazz station WRTI-FM’s (90.1) listener-voted “Jazz Hot 11 Countdown.”
“I’m really glad that someone’s doing something that’s real jazz, that’s fresh and new,” says WRTI program director Maureen Malloy. “It’s things like these that are going to get young people interested in the jazz genre.”

Blues icon, Charlie Musselwhite will headline at this year's festival. Swingadelic, the house band at Swing 46 in New York, will get the program started at noon on the historic Morristown Green.
Always a favorite at the festival will be this year's “guitar summit” featuring jazz great Bucky Pizzarelli, who has performed with everyone from Les Paul to Paul McCartney.
Up-and-coming Canadian trumpeter Bria Skonberg will follow, fresh from a scheduled appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival.
Roomful of Blues, a Muddy Waters tribute band led by guitarist Chris Vachon, brings an impressive resume that includes five Grammy nominations, seven Blues Music Awards, and two selections as best blues band by the DownBeat Critics Poll.
“It’s my hope that we are creating a legacy that Morristown can be proud of for many years to come by hosting this event each year,” Mayor Tim Dougherty said at a kick-off event for sponsors at Pazzo Pazzo in Morristown.
