Join the Morris Museum and WBGO Presents All That Jazz for a performance by renowned jazz-soul musician, composer and bandleader, Alex Bugnon.
Alex Bugnon has been a prolific, energetic force on the contemporary music scene for almost three decades. Bugnon hales from the picturesque town of Caux, Switzerland — 4 miles above Montreux, site of the world-famous Jazz Festival. No doubt, the annual convergence in his hometown and in his own home, of some of music’s most illustrious names played a role in his decision to pursue a musical career, as did his early friendship with Herbie Hancock. The fact that his uncle was the legendary Donald Byrd only served to further his decision.
Over almost three decades, Alex Bugnon has built a strong and loyal fan base across the country and around the world. His tour schedule has never eased, even besting the great Dizzy Gillespie’s record of appearances at Washington, D.C.’s Blues Alley. Last year marked Alex’s 20th consecutive year’s appearance at the legendary venue! He makes it a point of never missing a day of piano practice or of writing. If he is not composing, he is listening to his favorite artists and biggest influences: Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Ahmad Jamal, Kenny Kirkland, Mulgrew Miller, Wynton Kelly, Joe Sample, George Duke and Keith Jarrett.
Alex makes his home in the historic village of Harlem, New York, and maintains his connection to his beloved Montreux.
