Boney James

skully12 · Jul 2, 2008

have you guys heard of him? He is a quality sax player. He plays tenor and alto and i think soprano. His sound is best described as sultry and sexy.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CYpg14nm-lg <him on the allstar cruise. his solo starts around 3:20.

Just wondering if you guys have heard of him and could recomend some songs or albums by him i could listen to. i really love his sound.

He does seem pretty good. I was quite taken with the trombone as well!!!

Made a couple of nice albums with Rick Braun a few years ago - check out "Shakeitup".

Yeah i heard he did some work with Rick Braun. They did grazing in the grass together did they not? That's a good song.

Yup, (Hugh Masekela) Grazin in the grass - 2 versions on the shakeitup album, this kind'a stuff is a whole lot better live, prob'ly one reason the smooth cruises are so popular.

Yeah I would love to go on one just to see them play. It looks like everyone is having a blast on stage.

Yup I've heard of Boney James, 4 years ago while queing to get a rental car in Boston, Sax case in hand......that was the exact question I was asked.....at the time, I said no.....now....yes, he's very smooth .... leaning towards Kenny Gee,

but more lyrical (no comment). Ain't got the time! Man.

Cheers
