Alex Bugnon has created one of the most recognized styles in today’s contemporary jazz piano. It is a sultry mixture of contemporary jazz, funk, and R&B with hints of gospel. Even the titles of his CDs create anticipation for a musical experience that is delivered with passion. His latest album, Free, is a refreshing blend of exotic rhythms with haunting, soulful melodies and the signature Alex Bugnon piano sound. The album reunites him with Atlanta-based keyboardist and producer Phil Davis. Bugnon began his recording career in 1989 with his debut album, Love Season which reached the pop charts and the Top 40 of the R&B charts as did his 1990 recording, Head over Heels. He intrigued his fans again in 1991 with 107 Degrees in the Shade, followed by This time Around and Tales from the Bright Side. Five years later, Alex Bugnon signed with Narada Jazz and recorded his sixth album, Alex Bungnon as Promised, followed in 2001 with Soul Purpose, which remained on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart for 23 weeks. In 2003, Alex recorded for the first time in Atlanta with some of that city’s greatest musicians and titled his album Southern Living. He now calls this city his second musical home.
