Alex Bugnon: Going Home (2010)

"I really liked that idea of doing a a '60s inspired record, with a Les McCann/Eddie Harris or Jazz Crusaders vibe. , but I wanted to include a little more jazz than that, more towards a Herbie Hancock/Blue Note era Quintet or Sextet kind of vibe. You know, with two horns or three horns. That's what I was going for. The first three months of 2009 found me home practicing every day, anywhere from 4 to 6 hours a day, which is something that I haven't done since I was at Berklee. The rest of the time I was listening to a lot of music, especially Ahmad Jamal, Herbie's whole Blue Note catalog, Les McCann, Horace Silver, Wynton Kelly, Bill Evans Dave Brubeck - I realized that in the sixties, this music was the popular, commercial music of the time. Back then, this sound was really hip and underground!and very commercial. You don't need synthesizers, drum machines and nursery rhymes to be marketable. Watermelon Man and Cantaloupe Island were huge hits. Musicians were really playing on those records. So, you can see the concept for Going Home came from a lot of listening and practicing. At a certain time in April, I started to come up with new material. Something unlocked in me, because of all that listening and practicing that I did. the writing for the new record came from that. It was totally natural. I didn't have to sit down and scratch my head for hours. The tunes just came in minutes. That's how this record came about."

Personnel: Alex Bugnon (piano); Vincent Henry (flute, saxophone); Barry Danielian (trumpet, flugelhorn); Greg Boyer (trombone); Victor Bailey (acoustic bass, electric bass); Poogie Bell (drums, percussion).
