On Saturday, January 21st, 2006 at 8PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with jazz and R&B keyboardist Alex Bugnon.

ALEX BUGNON was raised in Montreaux, Switzerland, where he literally grew up at the jazz festival. Year after year, he listened and learned from a disparate group of visionaries, including Carlos Santana, Billy Cobham, George Duke and his longtime personal friend, Herbie Hancock. First stop after Switzerland was Paris, where he studied at a conservatory for two years before heading to Boston’s legendary Berklee School of Music and on to New York where he spent four years backing up performers like Najee, Freddie Jackson, Patti Austin and James Ingram before he landed his own record deal in 1989. Since then he has released six albums -- “Love Season,” “Head Over Heels,” “107o In The Shade” and “This Time Around” preceded his RCA Records debut, “Tales from the Bright Side” and “Southern Living”

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”, reunites him with Atlantic based keyboardist and producer Phil Davis. “Free” is a refreshing blend of exotic rhythms with haunting, soulful melodies and the signature Alex Bugnon piano sound.
