SUMMARY:Sinclair College celebrates Legends of Jazz Concert
DESCRIPTION:Sinclair Jazz celebrates the enduring legacies of Chuck Mangione\, Sammy Nestico\, Quincy Jones\, and Gordon Goodwin with special guest and Sinclair alumni\, trumpeter Matt Anklan on Friday\, April 24 at 7 PM\, in Sinclair College’s Blair Hall. An evening of big band brilliance and jazz mastery honors four influential figures who shaped the sound of modern jazz. Music lovers and jazz enthusiasts are invited to experience an unforgettable evening of music at the “Legends of Jazz” Tribute Concert\, a special performance celebrating the extraordinary contributions of Chuck Mangione\, Sammy Nestico\, Quincy Jones\, and Gordon Goodwin. The concert will showcase timeless compositions and arrangements that have inspired generations of musicians and audiences around the world. From the soaring flugelhorn melodies of Chuck Mangione to the masterful big band arrangements of Sammy Nestico\, the innovative production and composition of Quincy Jones\, and the electrifying contemporary charts of Gordon Goodwin\, this tribute concert highlights the diverse artistry that continues to define the jazz tradition. The program will feature a dynamic lineup of classic and contemporary works associated with these legendary artists\, performed by the Sinclair Jazz Ensemble and Youth Jazz Ensemble. Audience members can expect an evening filled with vibrant swing\, lush harmonies\, and unforgettable melodies that capture the spirit of jazz across generations. “Each of these composers and performers helped shape the sound of jazz in unique and lasting ways\,” said Bill Burns\, director. “This concert celebrates not only their individual achievements but also the influence their music continues to have on musicians and listeners today.” Chuck Mangione’s melodic and accessible style brought jazz to mainstream audiences\, while Sammy Nestico’s arrangements for the Count Basie Orchestra set the gold standard for big band writing. Quincy Jones’ groundbreaking career bridged jazz\, film scoring\, and popular music\, and Gordon Goodwin’s modern big band compositions continue to push the genre forward with energy and sophistication. The concert promises an engaging musical journey—from classic swing to contemporary big band—highlighting the enduring vitality of jazz and the remarkable legacies of these four iconic artists. Sinclair Jazz is dedicated to presenting exceptional live music and celebrating the rich heritage of jazz through performances\, education\, and community engagement.

SUMMARY:Jazz Night with George Balog ft. Rhinegeist and Thrive Youth Collective
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of jazz\, beer\, and some good old fashioned do-gooding!\nGeorge Balog is behind the turntables 7-11pm playing a curated selection of the choisest jazz cuts.\nWe’ll have six killer beers from Cincy’s esteemed Rhinegiest Brewering Company on tap.\nWe’re raising funds for the good folks at Thrive Youth Collective from open to close!

Programming is grounded in prevention science and centers protective factors known to improve mental health\, reduce risk behaviors\, and strengthen long-term well-being.\nAt the heart of this work is connection through community—a shared space where Q+ youth can build skills\, take developmentally appropriate risks\, strengthen autonomy\, and amplify their voices for both self and community.\nVISIONA place where youth are celebrated for who they are\, resilience is strengthened\, and community is built.\nMISSIONThrive Youth Collective co-creates a transformational space where youth feel affirmed\, empowered\, and engaged in activities that promote well-being.\nWhile resilience is a guiding value\, thriving is the intended outcome.\nGuided by the Thrive Youth Collective Board\, the LGBTQ+ Health Alliance\, community partners\, and—most importantly—Q+ youth themselves\, the Collective practices intentional inclusion and advances equity through empowering experiences. By prioritizing connection over isolation and autonomy over fear\, Thrive Youth Collective contributes to reduced anxiety and depression\, increased help-seeking behaviors\, healthier decision-making\, and stronger\, more authentic relationships among youth and their families—both biological and chosen—in Montgomery County.\nThrive Youth Collective directly counters the stigma and structural barriers Q+ youth face across school\, family\, and community systems.\nAt its core\, this is prevention work.It is mental health promotion.It is community building.It is life-saving.We imagine—and actively build toward—a world where Q+ youth are no longer forced to demonstrate daily resilience simply to survive\, but are fully supported in thriving.

She earned her BFA in Visual Art with a concentration in sculpture from Wright State University in 1994\, and her background in sculpture continues to inform her approach to material and surface. \nShe has pursued advanced study in encaustic painting through a residency with artist Patricia Seggebruch and was a 2020 recipient of a Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District and Culture Works Artist Opportunity Grant\, which supported further training with artist Alicia Tormey.
