Jazz & Ribs Fest 2009

I wish I could say that I’d spent the whole weekend there, documenting the entire thing, but I can’t. In fact, I could only be there for a couple of hours on Sunday, but at least I got to meet a few people, hear some great music from Mark Flugge’s band, and take a few photos. I don’t eat ribs, but I loved the signs and the friendly competition among the vendors.

Flugge has a trio that he usually performs with, including Dave DeWitt, and Dave Weinstock. On Sunday he had a few guests, including Jim Ed Cobb on percussion, and my old friends Randy Mather and Kim Pensyl on horns. They played all Mark Flugge originals for nearly an hour and a half, and a great time was had by all.
