SUMMARY:BOB PALINDROME
DESCRIPTION:The songs that Bob Palindrome writes are reminiscent of decades past before men with pianos faded into obscurity. While blues and country honky-tonk seem at first glance culturally incompatible\, rockabilly ties them together. Bob refers to the pawn shop find with which he creates this music as his “Mexican piano” since it is stamped with “hecho in Mexico.” Bob jokes that they should stamp him with “hecho in Macon” since he spent his formative years in that southern city known for its rich musical heritage. A few years back while stopping to relieve himself in southern Indiana the tour bus left without him. He’s been there ever since\, currently based in Bloomington. You will never find Bob sitting on the job as his rig is designed to be played standing. Mounted with the keyboard tilted forward Bob occasionally hams it up with theatrical fingering. Having never had a piano lesson no one ever told him not to. “Piano teachers should avert their eyes\,” he warns. The world awaits Bob’s recording of compositions from what he calls his “second thousand.” It won’t be long now.

SUMMARY:Gordon Bonham Blues Band
DESCRIPTION:Cost: $6 \nThe Gordon Bonham Blues Band lays down a hard driving brand of blues in the Chicago style with a bit of Texas and Mississippi thrown in. Tom Harold’s harmonica mastery works with Bonham’s guitar and the crack rhythm section of David Murray (bass) and Jeff Chapin (drums) in a sound reminiscent of the early Fabulous Thunderbirds. High energy and danceable\, but also “Low Down and Blue\,” the GBBB continues to deliver as one of the midwest’s finest blues bands.

SUMMARY:Alex Bugnon
DESCRIPTION:Jazz pianist Alex Bugnon has been a prolific\, energetic force on the contemporary music scene for more than two decades. A renowned musician / composer / bandleader\, Bugnon hales from the picturesque town of Montreux\, Switzerland – 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. \nBugnon left Montreux to continue his training at a music conservatory in Paris before landing in Boston to further hone his skills at the famed Berklee School of Music. It was here in the U.S. that his exposure to a diversity of musical styles – from R&B to gospel and funk\, began to shape and influence his personal sound. He toured the south playing with Gospel Leviticus and after graduation from Berklee\, had the opportunity to play in bands backing R&B greats Patti Austin & James Ingram\, Melba Moore\, Freddie Jackson and Keith Sweat. In between gigs he drove cabs and taught French at the Berlitz School as a means to support his musical career. But it would be his encounter with saxophonist Najee that would ultimately turn the tide for him. Signed to Orpheus Records\, Najee would make the introduction that would result in Alex’s first recording contract. \nHis first album\, Love Season (1989)\, with the fledgling record label\, catapulted the virtual unknown to prominence and set him on his musical course. The album rocketed to number 2 on the R&B charts and was nominated for best jazz album at the Soul Train Awards. In 1991 Alex released his second album for Orpheus\, Head Over Heels and like the first\, it became a chart topper cementing his position as a radio and fan favorite on the R&B and smooth jazz circuit\, earning him Black Radio Exclusive’s\, Best New Artist Award.\nIt was no coincidence that Alex was embraced by an R&B/soul audience\, after all his love of music was rooted in an appreciation and understanding of classic jazz and soul-based artists\, “from Memphis Slim and Bill Evans\, to Herbie Hancock\, Thelonius Monk\, Art Blakey and Earth\, Wind and Fire.” This was his inspiration and it easily translated into his own compositions and in his delivery of the standards. \nIn 1991\, he parted ways with Orpheus Records and signed with Epic to record his award-winning third album\, 107 Degrees in the Shade (1991) for which he received a Soul Train Award. He would release one more album under the Epic label\, the best selling\, This Time Around (1993)\, before signing with RCA for\, Tales from the Bright Side (1995)\, before taking a five-year hiatus from recording.\nAs the new century began\, Alex was also beginning anew. Signed to the Narada/EMI label he resurfaced\, with the first of four albums for the label; As Promised (2000) followed by Soul Purpose (2001)\, Southern Living (2003) and Free (2005). \nThen in 2007\, a chance meeting with award-winning producer and label founder\, Michael Cuscuna\, resulted in a comprehensive compilation album\, The Ultimate Alex Bugnon\, featuring cuts from each of his past recordings\, and giving Alex a taste of what he had always been in search of – control. The Ultimate Alex Bugnon was released on Michael Cuscuna’s Mosaic label and provided Alex the time needed to give thought to his creative process and allowed him to return to what was important to him as an artist\, as a composer and as a musician. \nBugnon continued touring\, but used the in-between time to reflect and re-evaluate every aspect of his personal and career journey. The result of this introspective period was his 2010 release\, Going Home\, recorded under his own label\, Xela Records. The album incorporated a traditional sextet format\, with trumpet\, saxophone and trombone added to his trio\, and featured old friends\, drummer Poogie Bell and bassist Victor Bailey. \nOver these past few 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. 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\, Kenny Kirkland\, Mulgrew Miller and Keith Jarrett.\nAs the year comes to a close\, Alex has released his 12th album – HARLEM\, the second on Xela. HARLEM is a mix of original compositions and his personal take on beloved and well known songs including the classic\, A Night in Tunisia\, Curtis Mayfield’s Pusherman\, Stevie Wonder’s Summer Soft and Burt Bacharach’s A House is Not a Home. \nAlex makes his home in the historic village of Harlem\, New York\, and maintains his connection to his beloved Montreux.

SUMMARY:The Leisure Kings
DESCRIPTION:A special holiday “R Rated” show led by The LK duo of Mike Wiltrout & Sean Baker set to the soundtrack of the Red Baron and his illustrious big band. \nIn the fall of 2002\, two musicians of vastly different backgrounds were hired to perform a weekly gig together in the lounge of the Indianapolis Downtown Marriott. One was Michael Wiltrout\, formerly the singer of midwestern punk/ska heroes of the 90’s Johnny Socko. The other was Sean Baker\, talented pianist\, jingle writer and leader of Indianapolis’ premier vocal jazz/lounge outfit\, Four Sexes. They were hired to play some pleasant\, if neutered\, background music for jet-lagged business travellers to get buzzed to. Maybe some jazz standards along with some mid-to-low tempo hits of the day. A good way to make a little money on a Thursday night without breaking a sweat. \nNeither one could have had any idea of what would grow out of those initial low-key performances. When\, just to amuse themselves more than anything else\, they started playing loungy rave-ups of some heavy metal favorites of their youth (Iron Maiden\, Van Halen\, Black Sabbath\, etc.)\, it quickly became evident that the pairing of these two talents – musically\, humorously\, and showmanship-wise – was fast gelling into something amazing. Orange and blue and brown tuxedoes were purchased. So was a bubble machine and a fog machine. Fire-breathing lessons followed. Casiotone keyboards\, dormant since the 80’s\, were dusted off. When people started to look at them funny\, they knew that\, while their days at the Marriott were numbered\, their days as magnificent Kings of Leisure were only beginning. \nToday\, a Leisure Kings show is much like a ride at an amusement park. The music\, the humor\, the special effects and all the other elements combine to create a show unlike any on the circuit today. Audiences will be amazed that two men can produce that much off-kilter goofiness on one stage. No one leaves a Leisure Kings show unchanged.
