SUMMARY:Boney James Live
LOCATION:Knight Theater
DESCRIPTION:Three decades into a career built on deep groove\, melodic inst
 inct and a saxophone voice unmistakably his own\, Boney James is still fin
 ding new ground. On A Simple Man \, his milestone 20th studio album\, out 
 October 2 via Concord Records\, the multi-platinum saxophonist\, composer 
 and producer delivers one of his most personal records.\n\nJames' catalog 
 has generated more than two billion on-demand streams in the United States
 . His honors include four GRAMMY nominations\, three NAACP Image Award nom
 inations\, four RIAA Gold-certified records and a Soul Train Award. Billbo
 ard named him one of the Top 3 Contemporary Jazz Artists of the 2000s\, an
 d in 2024 he became the first artist to score 20 No. 1 singles on the Bill
 board Smooth Jazz chart. Recent collaborations have also earned him two To
 p 10 hits at Adult R&B.\n\nFor James\, A Simple Man reflects a growing des
 ire to strip away distraction and focus on what matters most. "As I've got
 ten older\, I've realized I don't need a lot to make me happy\," he says. 
 "I love making music and playing my saxophone."\n\nThat clarity runs throu
 gh the new album. GRAMMY-winning vocalist Ledisi joins him on the warm con
 temporary R&B duet "I Belong To You\," while acclaimed trumpeter Marquis H
 ill appears on "Morocco" and legendary guitarist Larry Carlton guests on t
 he Steely Dan-influenced "Storybook." James also reimagines Ellington's "I
 n a Sentimental Mood" over a D'Angelo-inspired groove.\n\nJames' R&B found
 ation runs deep. He turned professional at 19 and spent his formative year
 s touring with Morris Day\, The Isley Brothers\, Teena Marie and others be
 fore stepping forward with his 1992 debut\, Trust . More than three decade
 s later\, he remains focused not on preserving a legacy\, but on continuin
 g to grow. On A Simple Man James's playing is warmer\, deeper and stronger
  than ever — and\, 20 albums in\, he is still making progress.\n\nAnd th
 at may be the clearest expression of A Simple Man : an artist who\, after 
 more than three decades\, knows more clearly than ever what matters.\n\nBo
