It’s been a full quarter-century since a young saxophonist and composer released his debut recording as a leader, Trust. On September 1, 2017, Boney James released his 16th album, this one titled Honestly. If you sense a direct line between those titles, you’ve already come a long way toward understanding what motivates the four-time GRAMMY nominee and multi-platinum-selling musician. “I’m fighting the good fight to be my own artist and not be pigeonholed,” says the genre-blurring James. “With a record’s title I always try to find something that will communicate the feeling I get when I listen to it. The feeling I get with this music is a sense of sincerity and intimacy. The word ‘honestly’ really reflects how I aspire to live my life and create my music. These are interesting times we are living in and the one thing I can do with the skills that I have is to make music that evokes a feeling and takes people somewhere… to do what I can to try and make the world a more pleasant place.” Honestly follows futuresoul, James’ 2015 release which spent eleven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart. The New York Times raved, “Boney James performs with panache...His arc as a soloist is emotional...he can paint a scene.” Honestly, says James, is quite different sounding than the previous record. “It’s more exposed,” he says of the 10-track collection. “A number of the songs have a more buoyant, cheerful, happy quality to them.” James produced the record and co-wrote all but one track, his interpretation of the Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael classic ‘Skylark.’ His skill as a performer as well as a recording artist garnered this notice from the Boston Globe, “James swaggered across the stage like a blacktop hero draining treys on an over-matched opponent. He even weaved his way through the audience, never missing a beat and all but daring the crowd not to have a good time." Over the years, James has racked up sales of more than three million records, four RIAA gold albums, four GRAMMY nominations, a Soul Train Award, nominations for two NAACP Image Awards and 10 CDs atop Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. In 2009, Billboard named him one of the Top 3 Contemporary Jazz Artists Of The Decade along with Kenny G and Norah Jones. With Honestly, as with futuresoul and the GRAMMY-nominated The Beat before it, Boney James is making some of the most stellar, wholly realized music of his career. “I’ve just grown up, personally and musically,” he says. “I’m a lot calmer now when I approach making music and have more confidence. I’m a “give-110 percent” kind of person and I’m enjoying the process more now. I think that comes out in the music. Maybe that’s why this new record is so much fun to listen to. There are parts on the record that still make me smile.”

The show was amazing!!! The venue was not the greatest. As a younger person, I felt for the older crowd who had to climb stairs and standing in long lines for almost an hour and a half to get in and sit in what I consider lawn chairs. Several of us spoke about how there are so few jazz venues in Houston, but if this is any indication of how it is then maybe that’s why artist don’t come this way to perform.
House of Blues Houston Houston, TXWhat an incredible venue Yoshi's is to see superstar Boney James! The venue is very intimate (400 people or less) and we were fortunate enough to be seated front and center to the stage. Not only is Boney James a consummate musician, I love the way he engages with his audience. The show was over 90 minutes but if I had my way he could have played all night. It's no wonder he's my favorite!
Yoshi's Oakland Oakland, CABoney, was off the hook. always a great show. But the House Of Blues, needs more staff, we had to wait in line upstairs section almost an hour for a drink, this is ridiculous Yes you can post my name. Boney is a friend, and deserves, a better place to play, a place where his audience can enjoy. Waiting for a drink of almost a hour is unheard of. Artist - musician : Donny Seeberger
House of Blues Houston Houston, TXThe Show was amazing Boney James was the man that night his music and live performances. Some say his music is smooth and soulful, and that he's one of the most influential jazz musicians. Boney James rocked the show I love it the tittle is true to its name, u can trust Mr. Boney James to come through with ear candy. Mr. Music himself has done it again. He never disappoints ...
Chandler Center for the Arts Chandler, AZBoney James put on a MAGNIFICENT SHOW at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, NJ, Saturday evening, November 8th. He had the crowd on their feet from the moment he took the stage until his departure. His band members were terrific, as well. Boney James is a superb saxophonist who has a wonderfully unique sound, setting him apart from many of the other jazz artists out there. The show was definitely worth the price of admission.
