About the Artist

Boney James is a distinguished saxophonist, producer, and composer whose career spans over three decades with a steady ascent characterized by a 'slow burn' of growing intensity and artistry. Hailing from New Rochelle, New York, he shifted from clarinet to saxophone in his early school years, a decision that sparked a lifelong passion. Having honed his craft by playing with legendary artists such as The Isley Brothers and Teena Marie, James carved a niche in contemporary jazz with his smooth, soulful sound that blends subtle funk, R&B, and jazz elements. Notably, Boney James has the remarkable achievement of being the first artist to earn 20 number one singles on the Billboard Smooth Jazz chart, underscoring his influence and consistency. His performances and albums, including the eagerly anticipated 2024 release 'Slow Burn,' exhibit a sophisticated fusion of meticulously crafted melodies and heartfelt emotion, often featuring collaborations with notable musicians like Marcus Miller and rising vocal stars. Fans appreciate his ability to evoke a romantic, upbeat, and grooving atmosphere, making his live shows a dynamic, immersive experience that keeps audiences coming back for more. Always evolving yet deeply rooted in his jazz foundations, Boney James embodies a cool, deliberate artistry that resonates deeply within the smooth jazz and contemporary jazz scenes.
