Biography

“I’m always thinking about making music,” he says. “It’s still my consuming passion.”

4.0 out of 5 stars Parting the waters of hate... March 30, 2011
By Jetway
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
What can I say? I like the album. Boney James handles his business as usual. I'm buying because it's Boney. That being said, the issue of vocals in jazz albums will never rest. Some like it, some don't. I've had a couple of listens and his sound is evident throughout even during the vocal selections. In addition to contemporary jazz, I like R&B. The critics of this albums vocals miss the fact that what passes for R&B today can't hold a candle to the 4 songs on this set. The jazz purist can never be satisfied. Smooth Jazz stations are going by the wayside all over America; so how can an artist with Boney's talent continue to be relevant? As if no one has ever heard jazz, rock or pop music on a R&B CD. Trust me, the man knows his audience and his roots. His factoring in some vocals is no crime.

3.0 out of 5 stars Boney James CONTACT CD March 29, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been a big fan of Boney James for years and have all of his CD's except for the Christmas CD and go see him in concert every time he comes to whatever city I am living. This CD is okay except Boney is going toward that trend of having too many singers. I like for my smooth jazz artist to have more music and less singers on their CD's. If I want to listen to singers, I would buy R&B and hip hop music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contact...Very Nice April 5, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Boney has done it again! Boney has stayed true to his signature sound, can you hear that sax? Sure there are vocals on this disc, but the SAX is STILL the lead voice on this album! On the vocal tracks, they seem to compliment each other, his unmistakeable sound still shines through. "Deep Time"-Sexy, "Cry", "Spin", "There and Back" all Slammin' and yes I like "Close to You". Everyone won't be pleased, but hey...... If you are a Boney fan, pick this up, I think you'll enjoy it, if not, play it again! Stay Smooth...dlm

Boney James' "Contact" never disappoints. With a smooth soulful sax on top of a sexy groove, you know you'll get into the mood with each of the tracks in this album. Read more

I bought this CD and was hoping for it to be typical "Boney" but I was wrong. There is only about 4 good cuts on this CD that I really like. This is not his best work. Read more

First, as a jazz educator I would like to mention that although Boney James is a great horn player, he's an R&B
(Rhythm and Blues) he is not a jazz saxophonist. Read more

Got my CD faster than anticipated and in good condition. CD has no scratches and I really like most of the songs. I would highly recommend the CD to anyone that likes Boney.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't like it! It was depressing and had 4 vocals on it.
I bought this album from Amazon.com and for me, I don't care for vocals in my smooth jazz, unless someone like Eliane Elias is singing or Candy Moten w/Kirk Whalum on "All I Do. Read more
