Event Details

The Smooth Grooves Concert Series is a monthly event that encourages music lovers to gather and share in the artistry of music and the beauty of good fellowship in an intimate setting that is sure to make the experience one to remember.

Featured on the main stage are National, Regional and Local artists who represent the best in Jazz, Blues, R&B, Funk, and Soul for your listening pleasure.

This months featured artists are:

Saxophonist Joe Johnson featuring National Recording Artist and Smooth Jazz Keyboardist, Alex Bugnon.

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 Atlanta based keyboardist and producer Phil Davis. After recording FREE and his last album, SOUTHERN LIVING, in Atlanta, Bugnon calls this city his second musical home. FREE is a refreshing blend of exotic rhythms with haunting, soulful melodies and the signature Alex Bugnon piano sound.

Growing up in Montreux, Switzerland — the home of the Montreux Jazz Festival — Bugnon started playing classical piano at age six. Guided by his father, a jazz guitarist and classical opera singer, Bugnon acquired a love for a wide range of music from Scott Joplin, Thelonious Monk, and Bill Evans to Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Joe Sample.  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, THIS TIME AROUND (1993), and TALES FROM THE BRIGHT SIDE (1995). Five years later, Alex Bugnon signed with Narada Jazz and recorded his sixth album, ALEX BUGNON...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. Alex's latest album, FREE, reunites him with Atlanta based keyboardist and producer Phil Davis. After recording FREE and his last album, SOUTHERN LIVING, in Atlanta, Alex calls this city his second musical home. FREE is a refreshing blend of exotic rhythms with haunting, soulful melodies and the signature Alex Bugnon piano sound.

“After exploring all of the sophisticated and progressive funk that helped me find my sound, I knew I needed to get back to a sound that was more laid back and straight to the point, where the songs, rather than fancy production, are the focus,” he says. “With the success of artists like Norah Jones and Alicia Keys, it’s clear to me that, like myself, people are tired of the overproduced, heavy machine-oriented music that excited them in the past. These are complicated times we live in, and it’s inspiring to see a trend towards making life simpler and focusing on the more important things.”
