For Festival Fourteen, in 1991, COTA salutes 40 years of jazz at the Deer Head Inn, with a collage of photos and anecdotes scattered through the festival program. The Volunteer of the Year Award, established to honor COTA volunteer spirit, is presented for the first time, in memory of long-time volunteer Joanne Mayer.
Dick Cone (Uncle Dicky), composer, arranger, director of Grandma's Soup, passes away this year as well, and both are lovingly remembered.
The Pocono Jazz Quintet plays this year, in a tribute to the great Cannonball Adderley, with John Swana on trumpet and Bill Mays at the piano. The Eric Doney Trio plays, with Paul Rostock on bass and Glenn Davis on drums. The Drewes-Haddad Band is on this year's bill, plus Stephanie Nakasian with pianist Hod O'Brien. Phil Woods decides to add Vic Juris on guitar, and has Adam Nussbaum guesting on the drums. WRTI-FM, from Temple University, broadcasts the festival live.

Inebriate the Air--am I--
And Debauchee of Dew--
Reeling--thro endless summer days--
From Inns of Molten Blue--
...as Emily Dickinson might very well have said, resting on her way from Philadelphia to Amherst on the porch at the Deer Head Inn.
