Alex Bugnon

An "Outstanding" performance by Cindy and Alex!! The band was outstanding as well!!

They were cooler than cool. They were ice cold from beginning to end!!

Alex put on a very good performance with some of his classics and some material i haven't heard before. His small band was excellent. he had the crowd in a frenzy very entertaining!!

I took my friend girl (at the time) to see Alex Bugnon at the Birchmere in 2005. After the show and how the evening went, we ending up dating. We got married in Nov 2007. Every year Mr. Bugnon comes to town, we must see him. From one Kat Daddy to another. I simply want to thank Mr. Bugnon for constantly making great jazz muzik. Darkman

I enjoyed the concert. Alex was very talkative and knowledgeble about music. Poogie Bell his drummer was amazing.

Excellent pianist and keyboarder! Bandmembers were his original personnel which made for an excellent show due to their familiarity as they played off each other!

My firat time at the Birchmere was a memorable evening. I enjoed the chicken pot pie and my lady friend enjoyed her crabcake. Alex Bugnon was out of sight. He has the blessing of working with three of the most talented musicians on the planet. The dummer was full of life and energy, the bass player was explosive and dynamic. And then there was the guitar player who also played tenor sax, baritone sax, flute , and haromica!

I've seen Alex Bugnon several times in the past and I always enjoy him. The passion and emotion he emits is infectious. The big sound that he and his trio

GREAT SHOW...THEY HAVE GOOD CHEMISTRY TOGETHER!! I HOPE THAT THEY CAN COME BACK SOON

When I go to a show I want the artists to play famous to favored music from their CDs, you know, ones that we're use to hearing. I do not like it when the artists go too far with a selection. It's better to play short pieces from famous sounds that we're use to hearing versus stretching the time playing too much of one thing, which eats up all the time leaving no time for other sounds we would like to hear by them play. I am not interested in how well a drummer can tap his/her drums individually, I am not interested in how well a pianist can play solo, I want to hear the group play together in harmony, which provides the whole sound for maximum enjoyment. After all, they're only there for a short while, which is why they should maximize their performance for the audience, as they can practice their music on their own time.

This show was simply fantabulus!! Alex and his band were in rare form and as he announced they were the same cats with him 20 years earlier at the release of his very first CD, their performance punctuated their musicianship, bond, and entertainment value...PT clearly had a great time performing with Alex. These guys demonstrated showmanship beyond belief! I can hardly wait until next year or whenever these cats will be in our area again.

Paul Taylor is a great talent and the songs he played were wonderful. I think he played 4 or 5 numbers before the encore routine began. It made me feel like they had a later show someplace and were hurrying to get there.

Alexis a true entertainer and would definitely attend another one of his concerts. I'm a huge fan of Paul, however, he only played about three songs. I wish he had played more songs. But I'm a huge fan and all and all the concert was great.

Alex & Paul were excellant! The show was high energy and non stop. I can't wait until Alex's CD comes out . Great show.

When I found out that Alex Bugnon was going to be in town, I had to get tickets. Better yet- the concert was held at the Birchmere. It was my 1st time at the Birchmere and this was a surprise for my husband to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I hadn't seen Alex or Paul Taylor in concert before but was greatly surprised. Now, I can't wait for their return. I've been an Alex Bugnon fan from his inaugural CD- Love Season- let me tell you that they can groove. Great concert, great atmosphere. Alex played a new song that I fell in love with and I absolutely have to get. Can't wait for more.

Alex was fantastic as always. Paul Taylor was ok he music sounded the same, but he sounded really good when he was playing Alex's music.

Great performance, Alex and Paul are on both good spirit and performance

Two very very good performers. The show was great but it could have been just a little longer.

Alex and Paul were great and I enjoyed the show but was surprised when it ended just after an hour and a half. They returned for another 15 minutes (by audience demand) but I really wanted to hear more from Paul Taylor, who I had in mind when I purchased my tickets. BTW - The waitress never returned with my change. I gave her a 20 for a $16.30 meal. Yes, I was going to tip her of course but gee wiz don't just take it from me!

Alex played brilliantly as usual. I don't know how Youngstown managed to acquire Alex Bugnon for our enjoyment, but I am grateful. He usually commands $100 or more per performance and we paid $10. Thank you Youngstown! Back to Alex... I have been a fan since his first album in late 1980s. To see him in person in a once in a lifetime experience.

Loved it. Perfect Friday night entertainment for the family.

Outstanding performance... He never disappoint performing and I've seen four times now. Can wait for new CD to come out. Thanks for bring Him and his group to such a lovely and exciting place.

The music was soothing, his band was most talented. Alex Bugnon gave it his all. A combination of the old and the new. Really really enjoyed it..

The show was great. Alex sounded so pure; the drummer and band were fantastic and TOM BROWN WAS OFF THE HOOK

This was an excellent show! Alex and friends did a phenomenal job! Every note was amazing from the first song to the end of the encore. I can't say enough good things about this tribute. I was on a wonderful mental vacation throughout the entire show.

The show was AWESOME!!! Alex and "the gang" were on it. They rocked the house!! What a wonderful trbute to Donald Byrd. Every song had its unique re-mix to keep you rocking in your seat. Alex acted like his piano was out of tune...but really he was teasing us because he broke out with "Rock Creek Park. "

One of the best shows I have ever attended at the Birchmere.

I play the piano myself, This was the second time that I saw Alex. I paid more attention this time to his style and passion. Alex is a master. He can take a song and revised it like no other artist I've heard. He is truly great.

Michael Lington opened the show, which lasted a good 3 hours. This was my first time seeing Alex Bugnon and it was spectacular! I would definitely see him again.

Great show with tremendous talent. Enjoyed both Alex Bugnon & Michael Lington very much!! Other back-up musicians were also great.

Very talented and a WONDERFUL evening! Enjoyed the opening act of Michael!

It was a show I wouldn't have missed for the world. Loved the stage arrangement and Alex's music. He played straight from the heart. I wish the show had been an hour or hour-and-a-half longer. I'm used to a club/lounge setting where the artist plays most of their repertoire and til the cows come home. Overall..... Good.

Show was great - Band was tight - Music was wonderful - Crowd turn out was once again disappointing / embarassing / sad / pathetic. This town doesn't deserve to host high caliber events !!!

Extremely talented performer, with great backup musicians. Everyone put on a great show. Enjoyed every minute of it.

The concert was awesome. Alex had the keyboards singing all nite long. Band was great. I would recommend his newest album Harlem.

The evening was indeed great. My wife and several of our friends clapped, patted our feet as well as sang along with every song and movement. Extremely enjoyable evening for all

Never heard of this guy before, does not even like Jazz, But let me tell you ! I am Hooked on this guy!!!!!! the ceoncert was amazing, Will be in attendance when Alex comes to town.

Alex Bugnon was amazing!! Nobody can make a piano sing like Alex Bugnon! You can tell through his playing of the piano that he has a deep passion and love for music. As a member of the audience you can feel his passion and love for music it takes over. He also, is a very humble man because he is willing to share the stage with up and coming artist like the band he played and with that evening and Cindy Bradley. It was a pleasure to see Alex in concert and I can't wait to attend the next one. Cindy Bradly was wonderful! I enjoyed her music it was so smooth, relaxing like a warm summer breeze. It's heart warming to know that she is sharing her love for music with children so they too can appreciate music

My only complaint was that the show was a little short.

Alex is not only a world-class jazz pianist, he is also quite the entertainer. I enjoyed learning of the influences in his life. Cindy blew me away (pun intended). Loved the pink flumpett!

Alex mentioned that he had been out of circulation tending to his mother...could not tell as he is an AWESOME performer!

This was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I attended with friends and they were blown away by his talent and the great seats near the stage.

Loved it! I saw Alex for the first time in 1993 in Huntsville, Alabama opening for Rachel Farrell and Will Downing. Alex didn't disappoint then and he's even better almost 20 years later! Great venue, good food, and good music!

it start on time Alex was GREAT hope to see him back soon

Although I'm a long time fan this was my first live Alex concert and it was fantastic. I went with a group of 4 which included myself and all ladies for a birthday celebration, we simply loved, loved, loved the entire show. Alex and the band performed a beautiful magical night!!!

Alex and company were phenomenal. Tight intros, changes and segues in an intricate jazz setting. One mind-blowing song after another. Between songs Alex entertained us with little funny stories. A humble yet great entertainer with a ridiculous ensemble! We will be there next time for certain!

WOW!!! I have not seen such an intimate, exciting crowd at the Ritz. Please invite Mr. Bugnon back again for more jazz at the Ritz. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. Great talent, location, food, drinks, and people. Bring more, and more talent back to the Ritz. Thanks for a great eveing.

Never heard of Mr. Bugnon until now. Concert was of the chart. Ole saying-- Don't knock it until you try it. Glad I did. I am a fan for life. The set was intimate with him and his 3 of his band mates. He did is thing as each of the others did also. He mixed his jazz up along with some R&B funk which brought the house down. I was lost for words. His drummer!!! A whole other story . WOW!!!!!

Alex, as expected, put on a terrific show! The band was equally as impressive.
