Mark Flugge Remembered: Jazz Originals & Standards
Mark Flugge Remembered is a celebration of Mark's music and playful, loving, creative spirit. This collection is a gift to all who knew and loved him and his music; it features audience favorites as well as some lesser-known compositions he had yet to release on a recording. Mark wrote, “I hope people/musicians will play some of the music I’ve written. They’re my musical children.” Mark Flugge Remembered is intended to supplement his compositions on his three other CDs, February’s Promise (2002), Familiarity (2003), and In Love, In Blue (2007), as well as his works on Waltz into Madness (2012). His musical influences included Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Clare Fischer, Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett, Dave Frishberg, ragtime and stride piano, the American Songbook, Bach, and Mozart. He specialized in solo jazz piano and chamber jazz, writing and arranging many pieces that included flute. All proceeds from the sale of Mark Flugge Remembered go to the Mark Flugge Memorial Fund.
