Atlanta, get ready to let the music move you. On May 23, 2026, the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre in Mableton becomes the epicenter of smooth jazz excellence when three of the genre's most celebrated names — Boney James, Norman Brown, and Alex Bugnon — share one legendary stage for An Evening of Jazz. This is not just a concert. This is a masterclass in groove, soul, and pure musical brilliance under the open Atlanta sky.

Three Icons. One Stage. Zero Excuses to Miss It.

Let's be real — when was the last time Atlanta had all three of these titans on the same bill? This kind of lineup doesn't happen every year. Smooth jazz fans across the city — and beyond — are already circling May 23rd on their calendars, and for good reason.

Boney James is nothing short of a saxophone legend. With multiple Grammy nominations and a catalog of silky, soulful hits that have soundtracked countless Atlanta evenings, Boney brings an energy to the stage that is electric and intimate all at once. His ability to blend R&B, funk, and jazz into a seamless live experience is unmatched.

Norman Brown is a Grammy Award-winning guitarist whose warm tone and melodic storytelling have earned him a devoted following in Atlanta's thriving smooth jazz community. Every note Norman plays feels intentional, emotional, and deeply connected to the audience. He doesn't just perform — he communicates.

And then there's Alex Bugnon, the Swiss-born, soul-trained pianist who has become a beloved fixture in contemporary jazz. His keyboard work is the kind that stops conversations and commands full attention. Bugnon's blend of jazz sophistication and R&B warmth is the perfect complement to an already elite lineup.
