Biography

Boney James dislikes labels and refuses any and all of them. “In fact, I have never thought of myself as a ‘jazz’ artist specifically,” he says.

Of course, this statement may serve as a source of confusion for the musician’s legion of fans that have scooped up over 3 million copies of his twelve albums (with eight of them going to No. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart). It also may seem… Read more in Amazon's Boney James Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The most underrated contemporary jazz saxman, August 21, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Backbone (Audio CD)
Everyone knows David Koz and David Sanborn. They even know Marion Meadows and Eric Marienthal. But you have to hear Boney James. His funky flair to smooth jazz is second to none. "BACKBONE" was the first James disc I heard, and still remains my favorite. The title track starts the disc off with a funky/R&B/soul sound that gets you movin'. "JUST BETWEEN US" has some beautiful interplay where James plays both tenor and soprano, while "TRINADAD" gives a hint of an islands percussion sound. He also does a wonderful slow, short bluesy song titled simply "BLUE". The whole disc is full of wonderful "Smooth Jazz" sounds that exemplify James' wonderful talent. James has guest starred on some great artists' discs like Rick Braun, Peter White, and 3rd Force. His contemporaries know how good he is. Now you should, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Funkiest Smooth Jazz on The Planet, August 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Backbone (Audio CD)
I am a Smooth Jazz fanatic. But Boney James takes care of all my music needs. This album in particular is one of my favorites. It has everything. Something sweet and mellow. Something for your night moods or that special "We want to alone date". Funky jazz that will get you on your feet. I play Boney during my dinner party's and everyone always asks, Hey who's that on the box? If you've never experienced Boney James, this is the one to check out. You have my word, you'll buy everything he puts out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The epitome of sensual jazz, April 21, 2003
By 
DerickWJazz "derickwjazz" (USA by way of Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backbone (Audio CD)
"Backbone" is by far one of the sexiest and most sensual CD's I have ever heard. Every track drips with emotion and the song "Blue" is a veritable musical aphrodisiac. "Backbone" should be in everyone's Smooth Jazz collection.
