Alex Bugnon

Modern jazz keyboard player Alex Bugnon, nephew of trumpeter Donald Byrd, was raised likely to the Montreux Jazz Festival in his hometown in Switzerland. He went to the Paris Conservatory of Music for just two years, then transferred to the U.S. and visited the Berklee College of Music, on the other hand executing as an accompanist to gospel groupings. He spent four years functioning as a program musician in NY, backing metropolitan and jazz performers such as for example Patti Austin, Freddie Jackson, Adam Ingram, and Keith Perspiration. Agreed upon to Orpheus Information, he released his debut record, Love Period, in 1989. It reached the pop graphs and the very best 40 from the R&B graphs, as do its follow-up, 1990’s Mind Over Heels. Following produces — 107 Levels within the Tone (1991), THESE TIMES (1993), and Stories From the Shiny Side (1995), the final on RCA Information — all put into the R&B graphs. After five years from documenting under his very own name, Bugnon agreed upon to the jazz department of Narada Information, which advertised him being a jazz musician, and his 6th record, Alex Bugnon…Seeing that Promised, reached the modern jazz graphs. He implemented in 2001 with Spirit Purpose.
