You are invited to attend the Twelfth Annual Mark Flugge Tribute Concert on May 18th at 7:30 pm at Boulevard Presbyterian Church in Grandview, Ohio: 1235 Northwest Boulevard Avenue, 43212! Adult entry is $15; students with ID are $10. We are delighted to be hosted by Vaughn Wiester's Famous Jazz Orchestra, and will be recording this live performance for the next album release in the Mark Flugge Remembered series! Big Band arrangements of Mark's compositions include Billy Wolfe's "Familiarity" and "Se Amour Lamente" (premiere), Lucas Holmes' "Truth", Bob Larson's "The Letter" (premiere), Ryan Hamilton's "Fridays at the Hyde", and Chas Baker's "Mi Zai". Additionally, Rachel Sepulveda will sing a new arrangement of "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep", by Vaughn Wiester. The concert will also feature the 2026 Capital University Mark Flugge Jazz Award winner, McCray Martin, on solo piano. Vocalist Jody Mancini and pianist Lucas Holmes will perform a set of jazz standards. The Andy Woodson combo (Michael Cox, saxophone; Paul Strawser, piano; Jim Rupp, drum set; and Lisa Jelle, flute) will premiere Andy's new composition "Dr. Bombay". Tony Zilincik's new composition "Memory Made Sound" will be premiered by Tony and Lisa Jelle.
Virtually all of the new compositions and arrangements on this concert were written in tribute to Mark Flugge, and commissioned by the Mark Flugge Memorial Fund. The Fund's purpose is to further the musical and educational legacy of Mark Flugge (1962-2014), an extremely gifted and inspirational jazz pianist, composer, teacher and bandleader who shaped the central Ohio jazz scene in countless ways. Donations may be made to the Mark Flugge Memorial Fund to support projects such as my upcoming album; look for its release in December 2026! -Lisa Jelle
