The Youngstown State University Jazz Ensemble will pay tribute to three local and international jazz figures who died this year with its Monday concert.

The ensemble, directed by Kent J. Engelhardt, will play “Feels So Good” and “Land of Make Believe” by flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione, who died July 22.

Mangione, who had a top-5 single in 1977 with the instrumental “Feels So Good” and a double platinum-selling album of the same name, helped establish a jazz scholarship at YSU. In 1994 he played three concerts in Youngstown — a duo with Tony Leonardi, who taught at YSU from 1969 to 2001 and led its jazz studies program from ’79 to ’01; a concert with his quintet; and a performance with the YSU Jazz Ensemble.

The concert will open with Charlie Parker’s “Now’s the Time,” arranged by Professor Dave Morgan and played as a tribute to Martin Berger, who died April 23. Berger was a retired YSU history professor and hosted the jazz program “Now’s the Time” on WYSU-FM.

The concert will close with “Definitely In” as a tribute to the late Latin jazz innovator Eddie Palmieri, who died Aug. 6.

Elizabeth Jadue will be the featured vocalist on “My Shining Hour,” arranged by YSU alumnus David Lalama. Thad Jones’ “Dedication” will showcase Stephen Enos, YSU’s new jazz trumpet instructor. And the ensemble will premiere a new arrangement of Lucky Chops’ “Miami” by graduate student Andrea Richard.

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Bliss Hall’s Ford Theater. Admission is free.
