What a blast this year has been! My new CD “futuresoul” dropped in May and debuted
at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and #41 on Billboard Pop Chart.
That was my highest debut ever, so it was really exciting.
I was honored to be invited to appear on The Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. He is an
amazing interviewer. (http://video.pbs.org/video/2365526712/ )
Another highlight was to be invited to sit-in with The Roots on The Tonight Show with
Jimmy Fallon for the first time. Too cool!
So many great new things happened this year, but as always my favorite thing is to
play live for all of you and meeting you after the shows. It's really been awesome for
the band and me. Thanks for being so supportive and we'll see you somewhere in
2016.

A New York Times Review
Boney James Performs with Panache in Smooth Cruise Kickoff
By Nate Chinen, NY Times, June 26, 2015 | Photo Credit: Nicole Fara Silver for The New
York Times
Forty minutes into his sold-out first set on the Smooth Cruise on
Wednesday, Boney James dialed up his crowd work with the
efficient panache of a retail politician. First came the selection of a
woman from the audience, who needed no cajoling to strut
onstage and start dancing in a comically suggestive face-off with
Mr. James and his tenor saxophone.
Then Mr. James darted through the crowd, a black fedora and a
mop of curly hair negotiating a thicket of raised smartphones. He
hopped onto a chair at middeck and bleated a few pithy lines on
tenor while the members of his band motored through a kind of
frictionless, imperturbable soul groove. They were playing
“Contact,” the title track of Mr. James’s 2011 album, and sounded
as if they could keep it going awhile. Forever, maybe.
Hornblower Infinity, an aptly named 210-foot yacht, had just pivoted near the Statue of
Liberty and was cruising back to Pier 40. A long line of well-dressed fans waited there,
eager to board for the second set. So, by all the metrics that matter, the kickoff to this
summer’s Smooth Cruise series had already proved a success.
But Wednesday’s cruise served a dual purpose: It was also the only New York City stop
on Mr. James’s current tour. His new album, “Futuresoul” (Concord), has spent the last
six weeks at the top of the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, burnishing his
stature as one of the format’s most reliable stars. He duly opened his early set with the
album’s lead single, “Drumline,” a dose of quiet-storm funk with a light retro sheen.
Mr. James has long been at home in the sector of contemporary jazz that dovetails with
smooth R&B; aside from the coiffure, he’s more Robin Thicke than Kenny G. (Jairus
Mozee, who has worked with Mr. Thicke, helped write and produce “Drumline.”)
Mr. James’s appeal is a matter of poise and taste: He doesn’t get sickly sweet on
ballads, and he’s rhythmically sly, phrasing behind the beat.
The touchstone for saxophonists in this style is still Grover Washington Jr., whom
Mr. James acknowledged as an early influence in his preface to “The Moment.” Another
tune from the new album, “Vinyl,” played on similar early-1970s nostalgia.
In a few other spots, notably on a beefed-up older tune called “Nothin’ but Love,”
Mr. James stretched out, in a manner of speaking. His arc as a soloist is emotional
rather than narrative — meaning he doesn’t really tell a story, but he can paint a scene.
His band backed him more than capably, even with a substitute guitarist, Carl Burnett.
High proficiency is a given at a smooth-jazz show of this caliber, but Mr. James’s rhythm
team — the keyboardist Herman Jackson, the bassist Dwayne Smitty Smith and the
drummer Omari Williams — was better than it strictly had to be. (Mr. Smith, especially.)
Near the set’s close, Mr. James showed that he wasn’t above cribbing one of Kenny G’s
tricks, circular-breathing a single note on soprano saxophone during a cover of “Ain’t No
Sunshine,” the Bill Withers tune. But he didn’t let the moment curdle: Soon the band
segued into another slow jam, Mr. James punctuating his phrases with a grin.

“futuresoul” review
By Bill B— soulandjazzandfunk.com - July 2015
Futuresoul' is sax man Boney James' fifteenth long player and the
ten tracker will delight the man's many followers. The ten tracker (all
original tunes) offers James' trademark soul-based take on smooth
jazz and he sets out his stall from the start with the robust
'Drumline'. It's an unusual mix of Isley Brothers churning funk and
David Sanborn's rootsy sax style. Like most of the music here it
proves that "smooth" doesn't always equate with "bland".
It's an album highlight. Other standouts are 'Vinyl' and 'Far From
Home'. The former is gentle and laid back, coming on like a love
theme from a classic Blaxploitation movie. It also features some neat
drum programming from the wonderfully named "Nutty P Beats"! 'Far
From Home' is quite different. Poignant and plaintive it features fine piano from Tim
Common and some beautiful trumpet from rising horn player, Marquis Hill. It's too
complex to be classed "Quiet Storm" but if that's your thing try, 'The Moment' or 'Hand
In Hand'. The titles, I guess, tell you what to expect.
The album also boasts two satisfying vocal cuts. First up there's 'Whatchu Gon' Do About
It'. It's not a full-on vocal; singer Nikelta Chrichlow coos sweetly and seductively on the
chorus – evoking the great smooth jazz we used to know and love. 'Either Way' is much
more intriguing. It features Stokley Williams from Mint Condition and we're told that his
vocal contribution was arranged an assembled via twitter and e-mail! The tune begins in
classic smooth jazz style but Williams' edgy, emotive vocal is far from "smooth" giving
the cut a real edge that hopefully might bring a few modern soul folk into the Boney
James fold.

Chicago !!
A fans review of the Chicago Theatre show:
Boney James and his band usually visit Chicago once a
year. Whenever that day arrives, my calendar is marked
as “busy”, and this year was no different. Boney’s show
in the Windy City (usually held at the iconic Chicago
,Theater) is always special, because it’s a tandem with
another major artist. In years past, it has always been a
show with George Benson. The 2015 Futuresoul show in
Chicago, however, was announced as a side-by-side between Boney James and Brian Culbertson. Gasp! This had to be the mother of all
contemporary jazz concerts. And it was, because at the end of a combined two-hour
show, Boney invited BC and his trumpeter Michael Stever to come out on stage and join
him in playing “Grazing in the grass”. I put up the video clip of that performance
exclusively on the Official Boney James fan page on Facebook. They practically burned
down the house, and we all (3000 fans) watched and listened in awe. Playing a
saxophone for an hour or two while moving around and dancing on the stage is hard
work. Which is why I’m amazed that Boney was gracious enough to patiently spend time
for another hour or so to sign CDs and take pictures with his fans after the show. It’s
the reason why we love Boney and artists like him: Not just because we’re infatuated
with his music, but because he knows many of us by name,
and thanks us in person for having come to his show! My
wife and I will be back at the Chicago Theater again next
year to see Boney James. P.S. This year, several members
of “The Boneyard” made arrangements to meet for dinner at
a nearby Chicago restaurant before the show. Needless to
say that new friendships (on and off Facebook) were forged,
and reunions were celebrated.
The power of Boney James’ music……...

“futuresoul” buzz from
across the pond
Having been a Boney James fan for so many years, the question
that pops up in my mind each time he has a new CD coming out
is "is the new music gonna be as cool as it has been?" Well, I
think Futuresoul is still "cool" but it has a tinge of sexy-funk
gyrating just beneath the surface of the music. The grooves are
so infectious that you find your hip swaying to the beat
unknowingly. It's amazing. That's Boney James for you. My
favourite tracks are The Moment and Hand in Hand. Stokley's
vocals sit so beautifully on top of Boney's grooves. Finally, as a
sax player myself, I was also interested in how Boney sounds on
his new mouthpieces. I couldn't really hear the difference. And
this just confirms my hypothesis as a saxophone-gear junkie that
no matter what you play on, you'll still sound the same...the same awesome sound that
we are all so attracted to from Boney James' saxophones.

What can i say really......
Another awesome CD by Boney James ...
really hits the beat with Futuresoul ....
love every track !! Xoxoxo
~~ Carol Ann Robertson ~~
** United Kingdom **
“Futuresoul” is one of the best albums made in a
very long time. Boney, as always, doesn't fail to
excite. I love the way each track is different yet
each one in their own right is so Boney. Vinyl hits
the spot, everytime I hear it, it sends shivers !
If you are starting out in our world of smooth jazz then
this is a fantastic place to start. I can't think of a better
saxophonist to teach you how a sax can sing to you.

Well, I guess I was one of the first to get my hands & ears on
the new album this side of the pond! The actual release date was
April 30th in the UK, but thanks to a lovely friend,
Yvonne Evans, my copy arrived a couple of weeks early.
Of course, it was straight into the CD player, and the familiar
snare drum sound of “Drumline” was first up. Familiar to my
ears, because that track, along with the silky and soulful “Either
Way,” had been sent out to radio and had been played by me,
on The Smooth Jazzy Vibes Show and my fellow internet radio
presenters here in the UK. Drumline kicks off the album in fine
style. I’ll declare my hand right away, the next two tracks are
my personal favorites on the album, ‘Vinyl” and “A Little Attitude” are pure classic Boney,
as ever delivered with style, and indeed, attitude! The next pair of tracks feature vocals,
and again declaring a personal interest, I generally prefer instrumentals but we hear some
lovely understated singing from from Nikeita Crichlow on “Watchu Gon’ Do About It” and
some powerfully soulful work by Stokely Williams on “Either Way.” Things cool down for the
rest of the album, next up is “Hand In Hand,” which, to me, at least sounds like it could be
a holiday/New Year tune, very chilled out. As indeed is the very evocative “Fortuneteller,” I
can just picture the swirling mists around the crystal ball! On to “The Moment”...more
classic Boney baby-making music! We are back to that snare drum again with the title track
“Futuresoul,” giving us a solid mid-tempo groove. The closing track “Far From Home,”
features the trumpet of Marquis Hill, another track with a spiritual feel, which is best
enjoyed with headphones and closed eyes. Those of you lucky enough to have bought your
copy from BestBuy, may even have the bonus of another track “Another Day In Paradise,”
not a cover of the Phil Collins song, but another cool, mid-tempo sawyer. It’s well worth
seeking out the track if you didn’t buy from that particular store. So, that’s “Futuresoul”
from my perspective... you will all have your favourite tracks and no doubt will be groovin’
along with them until the next project appears from the Maestro! Wishing you all a Happy
Holiday season, and a Smooth & Jazzy 2016 full of all things Boney!

Another year of fabulous music, friends and most of all
Mr. Boney James. Another year of meeting new and incredible
friends and cherishing those old friends who continue to be a
blessing in my life, all of us with the love of Boneys music as the
common thread. I will always adore this artist and hope that
next year will bring more travel plans and more shows to
experience with my Boney peeps. There is nothing like that
LIVE GROOVE of a Boney James show !! Ms. Wanda is a
Boney James fan for life !! ~~ Wanda McDuffy ~~
When I had the chance to take my son, Quin to his first jazz
concert, it was a no brainer that the first artist for him to see
was going to be Boney James. I have been an avid fan of his
and I wanted to share that experience with my son. The
reason this was such a special occasion for us, is that my son,
who is 15 years old, plays the alto and tenor sax, so it was
important to me that he shared in the love of music. I have to
say, Boney did not disappoint. The show was amazing, the
venue was outstanding and the music from his new CD
“Futuresoul” is unbelieveable. What capped off the evening,
was Quin having the opportunity to meet Boney. We had approximately 20 minutes with
him. Not only was he accommodating, he also answered every question Quin had. As a
father, I was in awe that a man that just spent 2 hours entertaining a packed house with
energy and enthusiasm, took time to spend with us. Quin now wants to take his craft a little
more serious and he listens to Boney just as much as I do. The memories that we have of
that night will always be a part of our lives. I want to personally thank you, Boney, for being
a part of my life. Your music has been bringing me a lot of joy and peace over the past
decade. Jazz on, and continued success.

Boney has been my
favorite for a long time
he is such an awesome
wonderful musician and
person who caters to his
crowds and fans. I love
him!
~~ Diane Wilson ~~
So, I was
fortunate to
meet Boney,
when he came to
New Albany,
Ohio, I was a few
people back, but
as an opening
happened, I was
able to get a
glimpse of him,
man, when I say nerves were working overtime,
lol. Finally it was my turn, he was so kind, I had
nothing for him to sign for an autograph, so I
asked him to sign my Coach bag, yes, you heard
right, and he did, I also got my picture taken
with him, that was a night to remember, I can
always see my memories, when I look at my
bag, only thing I regret, was due to the fact that
I was so star struck, I forgot to ask him how
does one become a "Boney Girl", that's what I
refer to as the ladies who have sang on his
album, now that, would make my dream
complete…..

birthday
present was
seeing Boney
James, my
very first time
ever, in
Detroit in June
at Chene Park.
My daughter
knew I was
crazy about Boney's music so she
surprised me with tickets. He was and is
truly amazing. I can't wait to see him
again and meet all of the truly amazing
people I've gotten to know being a
proud member of The Official Boney
James Fans group on Facebook.

Anyone who knows me knows I have been a fan of Boney since
FOREVER! There was always something in his music that called
out to me. So, for years, I have been playing his music nonstop.
That being said, my youngest son, Aiden, was and had been
having a very difficult time in school. He was sad all the time.
I always told him when I feel down, that I listened to music
because it made me feel better. So, he wanted to try it.
One day he sat with me and we watched a live video of Boney
playing Batucada. He was in love with the song and thought
Boney was the “coolest.” We went from video to video and he
enjoyed it all. From that day, he started listening to all things
Boney from my collection. Seeing his newfound excitement for
music, for his birthday, I got tickets for us to see Boney in Red Bank, New Jersey. Aiden
was in awe! He was able to meet Boney and was truly inspired by his words. After the
concert, he begged me to get him a saxophone. Seeing how happy and excited he was,
I bought him a tenor sax a few days later. Aiden was in complete heaven. He’s currently
taking private lessons and receives praises for his dedication. Not only has his selfesteem increased, but he finally found something that brings him peace and happiness.
This school year has been his best yet! I truly credit Boney for a big part of that. We
already have our tickets to Boneys show in May 2016. Aiden cannot wait to see his role
model again. Thank you Boney, for being an inspiration not only to me, but to my son
as well.

Boney's show @ the McCoy Center in New Albany, Ohio was truly the best I have
experienced! I got my dance on with the Maestro himself!!!! I felt like a superstar!!!!
Thanks so much for the dance, Boney!! I look forward to my next Boney adventure!!!!
~~Vikki Chapman ~~
These past two years of seeing Boney all over the country
have been indescribable. From the first time I saw him
about 20 yrs ago at The Tabernacle here in the ATL to this
present time, the excitement has not wavered. The
anticipation of him running out on stage & knowing the
magic is about to happen is beyond words for me. I am so
amazed by his sax. I've seen Boney sit through not feeling
well, to staving off mosquitos, to adjusting to an unplanned
7 hour road trip, in order to take every picture and to sign
every CD for his fans. Boney is magical, he casts musical
spells that are hard to explain. I just sit back & enjoy this
ride, so happy that he and I are sharing the same planet at the same time. Rarely a day
passes that I am not listening to a Boney James record, I know the ins and outs of every
tune and even still, his music is so unexpected. Thank you Boney, not only for your
musical talent that you share, but also for your tireless effort to enthrall and entertain us
as well. Thanks for the smile that greets each of us, even when you are exhausted. The
friendships, the hangs, the posse', the shenanigans, the panic that happens when we're
trying to get the best seats in the house for a show, all fall under that
#BoneySpell...Wow!! You are responsible for so many friendships…how cool is that!?!?
You are #epic, that is all.

Another amazing year, I had my first Smooth Jazz Cruise in
March that started the year of Boney trips and it was beyond
my expectations. James had 3 shows in August, all three in
Ohio…couldn’t miss those. Finished off my shows for the
year in October in New Albany, Ohio. Thank you Boney for
four shows, I loved every one. Had a great time with all the
ladies, too, you know who you are……and as all of your fans
say…… “It never gets old”…….

There were few things that I looked forward to in 2015 like I
did the release of “futuresoul.” When I got the chance to
download it (as soon as it came out) I was blown away. With
one eye on old school R&B and the other on the here and
now, futuresoul is a true masterpiece. Firing on all cylinders
with rich arrangements and lush production, Boney led
himself and his musicians through an earscape so mired in
excellence that it is hard to stop it from resonating in your
head long after the music stops playing. Every cut has
something valid to offer, from the sassy “ A Little Attitude” to
the far away imagery of “Fortuneteller” to the joyful title cut
to the mournful and ntrospective “Far From Home” and
everything in between. Attempting to find a favorite cut is impossible, as all speak up at
different times depending on the mood of the listener. It has stayed on heavy rotation and it
holds up as well as it did from first listening. That, my friends, is the mark of a Maestro. I
set off to hit a few shows this year. Just a few. In reality I wound up in North Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Washington State, Texas, Nevada, two different trips to Ohio, Virginia, and
took a trip on the Smooth Jazz Cruise 2015.2. What a party it's been. Every last show has
been constant in its badassery and its content. Boney doesn't just put on a show, he throws
a party for everybody in attendance. He dances, he laughs, and he blows the hell outta that
sax!! There is something so celebratory about every gig he plays no matter how large or
small the venue, that all of a sudden everybody is just totally lost in his artistry. There is
just no way you can do anything but appreciate it. I have been so fortunate to have been a
part of so many great times on the road that even as this year winds down I still can't
believe it. Even better are the times I've shared with the members of the Boneyard. Like
Boney himself, we showed up and showed out. I've woken up more than enough mornings
with no voice left, and I know I haven't been the only one. It just never, ever, gets old. I
also got a few chances to talk to the man himself. Always gracious and always such a nice
guy. We didn't talk about anything earth shattering, but I got to know a little bit more about
what makes him tick as a musician. It amazes me the amount of practice he puts in and the
huge amount of dedication he has to his craft. He really loves what he does, and it always
shows. It's made for some awesome memories. So here's to you Boney and thank you for
always taking time out, even for a minute. I appreciate you always being kind and cordial.

Boney James binds us together with his music and his infectious
energy on stage. Many of his CDs have corresponded with specific
events in my life, but none as impactful as “futuresoul.” I spent
the past year in treatment and anyone that has had this
experience knows there is that one time when you hit the wall and
feel like you cannot move forward. I hit that wall the night before
the release of futuresoul. There I was lying awake, praying, and
feeling frustrated when my iPad signaled a download was in
progress. Once complete, I listened to my new CD and found
myself bobbing my head to ‘Drumline’, daydreaming to ‘Watchu
Gon’Do About It’, and reminiscing about my belly dance days with
‘Fortuneteller’. Boney serenaded me and soothed my soul that
night. Music is indeed a healing force and “futuresoul” continues to be part of my
therapeutic regimen. Thanks Boney!
~~ Paula Ayomide Yvette Sottin ~~
Boney James 2015, another great year with the release of
"futuresoul". I only got to see Boney twice this year (grateful),
however, extremely disappointed that it was not more. We are all
fortunate that Boney shares his talent, music, and wonderful
personality not just around this country, but to those abroad also.
It has been 7 years now, and every year he brings me more
internal strength than anyone can possibly imagine. Cannot put
into words, it's unexplainable, just a feeling. Guess you would have
to spend a day in my shoes, and share my medical history to truly
appreciate this special artist. Thanks to everyone that supports,
promotes, and coordinates these events. I have learned over the years, that our
musicians also sacrifice their life, to provide us so much happiness. Thank You Boney !!
Bring on 2016 !!
~~ Mark Stevens ~~
The futuresoul tour was epic! I was able to
see four shows so far, but the experience of
a lifetime was getting pulled from my seat
and dancing with Boney. He locks in with
those eyes and you cant help but get down!
Boney never disappoints and it never gets
old!

My continued Boney James journey: I guess you can say I am a
new Boney James Fan. However, you can also say that I am a very
passionate involved fan. I was privileged to be included in a group
of what I know are Boney James super fans; Jessilynn Butler, Karen
Hartley and our Carole Bo. I was enveloped from the very beginning
from these lovelies. I cannot really tell you what happened with my
first Boney James concert because I was in awe of everything
around me. My sorority sister invited me to Atlanta and there I was
in the midst. The excitement in the audience when the
unmistakable sound of Boney James sax ignited an excitement in
the crowd I had never witnessed. Listening to the live music of
several artists is all because of Boney James. I have seen that
excitement at every concert I have been to and it is still amazing. The introduction to the
#TeamBoney tee-shirts was one of my favorites and I was a major cheerleader for fans to
get on board. I blinged out my shirt and nails all for the thrill of meeting Boney James and
seeing his reaction to the shirt He did not disappoint. Boney James loves and appreciates
all of his fans. I am honored to be among those who have enjoyed him longer and those we
see at the before concert meet-ups. I am grateful for my CDs autographed by Boney James
and my “serenade” Carole and Karen laugh at to this day…but I must strive for the ultimate,
a “dance” with the Maestro. Thank you for being you Boney James!
~~ Yvonne Evans ~~
Boney James and 2015, what a winning combination. With the
release of "futuresoul", Boney took this year up another notch.
Each show had an extra flavor of "Funk
and Awesomeness"! Thank you Boney for making it another
year to remember. ~~ Rosa M. Evora ~~

and Lily says …….
When Boney started writing “futuresoul,” he was talking a lot about his love for 70's R & B
and Soul music and how he wished he were an artist in that era. His idea was to give his
music that same "vibe," but with today's sensibility and influence. He always works really
hard on every record he makes, but this one flowed out of him in a way that I've never
witnessed. I think it's his best record so far, but I think that about every one of them! So
either they're getting better, or I might be a little prejudiced. I'm always grateful for all the
fans' enthusiasm, loyalty and support for my husband's music.
Thanks everyone! We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy,
prosperous New Year !
With gratitude and love,
