Vibe Nation

The Germantown Jazz Festival proudly presents its Fall Fundraiser! This Fall we're shining light of the jazz vibraphone! Five of Philadelphia's leading vibraphonists will converge in Germantown to showcase the prolific autonomy of the instrument as a lead sound in a quartet format. Not unlike the pathfinding leaders of old like Lionel Hampton, and Milt Jackson of the Modern Jazz Quartet, Gary Burton, Bobby Hutcherson. Vibe Nation will feature some of the area's best vibraphonists: Settlement Music School, Wynnefield Branch educator/vibist Tony Miceli, will act as Musical Director alongside veteran Philly vibist Randy Sutin, Behn Gillece, Oliver Maymen, and young lion Julian Lee. In addition, these fine leading men will be backed by an outstanding rhythm section featuring Neil Podgurski on piano, Nimrod Speaks on bass, and Khary Abdul Shaheed on drums. A once in a lifetime opportunity to witness this great conversion of musical jazz musicians from Philadelphia. Don't misss it!!
