This long-awaited, funky new release by Contemporary Jazz great *Alex Bugnon*, is in a traditional Jazz Sextet format of piano, bass, drums and three horns, featuring *Poogie Bell, Victor Bailey, Vincent Henry, Greg Boyer* and *Barry Danielian*. "For the last two decades, keyboardist Alex Bugnon has been a romantic yet energetic force on the contemporary jazz scene - an ambassador from the last days of the Quiet Storm with chameleonic skills befitting him as a straight ahead jazz piano leader and soul as a sideman. Born in beautiful Montreux, Switzerland, world famous for a jazz festival that has hosted thousands, he was pre-destined to be a jazz man. And on his new album Going Home, he boldly explores that music – his first love – more explicitly than ever before. From songs inspired by Horace Silver and Ahmad Jamal to covers of old favorites from WAR’s “The World is a Ghetto” to Herbie Hancock’s “Oliloqui Valley,” to an adaptation of “Nothra Dona di Maortse” (a song he discovered at his father’s funeral), the 8-song project taps deep roots from multiple plains." - _A. Scott Galloway_ "Alex Bugnon has transformed his performance to new artistic heights. he has enhanced the level, quality, and complexity of playing to include intricate, classical elements in his piano style, all the while maintaining his signature funk, groove, R&B, gospel, and jazz." - _Smoothviews.com_ "CLICK HERE":http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/AlexBugnon to purchase your copy of _Going Home_ Alex Bugnon and his band will be performing live at *The NYC Winter Wine Festival* on *Friday, February 5th*!
