About
BONEY JAMES IN CONCERT:
Legendary sax man Boney James is a model of stamina and endurance, consistently wowing fans with his nonpareil virtuosity and herculean performances. Taking the stage with his trusty Selmer Mark VI saxophone, James eschews the placidity of smooth jazz in favor of a bombastic playing style, and whether he's leading call and response with his band or tearing through an epic solo he never fails to bring the house down. Billboard named him their No. 3 Contemporary Jazz Artist of the Decade, and fans lucky enough to catch him on his upcoming tour will be left with no questions as to why.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Massachusetts-born James Oppenheim, a.k.a. Boney James, began playing clarinet at age eight, switching to saxophone two years later. In his teens, he was introduced to Motown and jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr., leading him to join a fusion band when his family moved him to Los Angeles at age 14. Following stints as a session player for acts like the Isley Brothers and Teena Marie and a featured role playing in Morris Day's band, James released his solo debut album Trust in 1992. Since then, he has released more than a dozen albums, selling more than three million records worldwide and earning a number of accolades including a Soul Train Award and two NAACP Image Awards. Back on the road, he'll draw from his decade-spanning catalog to deliver fans an unforgettable night of virtuoso sax playing.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Unbelievable! A non-stop wonderful show for almost 2 hours. Boney seems almost unreal in how long he can hold a note. Don't miss this!"
"Boney James is a great performer. He came off of the stage and danced with the audience, and he played to both sides of the stage. He sounded great and his band was fantastic."
"Boney James did what Boney does. He rocked the place. Great concert. Would go again next week if they played."

by Jan on 9/19/23Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort - Atlantic CityI took my dad to see Boney James it was an amazing concert. I can't wait to see him again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 very enjoyable!
by Rick on 9/19/23Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort - Atlantic CityAlthough the performances were great. I did not agree with Will Downing being part of the Jazz Festival as a R&B artist. That made the advertised ticket sale a partial lie.
Rating: 4 out of 5 A excellent evening of jazz!
by Lupe on 9/19/23Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort - Atlantic CityThe concert was all I expected it to be. The opening act was fantastic. Will Downing was very good and Boney James and his band was exceptional. Looking forward to see who will be at next year’s jazz festival.

by Mo on 9/19/23Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort - Atlantic CityI've been a fan of Boney James but never seen him live. He lived up to my expectations and more. Jeanette Harris was a great performance. She is very talented. Will Downing wasn't as crooning as I know him to be. This was my fourth time seeing him.

by eLNELL on 8/24/23Boney was in the mood that night. He performed for a group that he knew appreciated his music in a great venue. Loved it.

by Jazz kills !! on 8/23/23Boney James killed it again Never disappoints Layla brought it too… The second night not so much The opening artist should have been the closer
Rating: 3 out of 5 3 artists at The Aretha is too many!!
by Rockin on 8/23/23I love The Aretha outdoor amphitheater, but having 3 artists with 3 set changes was too many for the evening. Damian Escobar (1st) was too short, Lela Hathaway got the most time + performed with Boney James, who got cut short - with the crew literally giving him the "cut"sign during his performance. It was kind of disappointing. But overall, a decent concert. Maybe next time it will be solo performances or all combined for a more enjoyable evening!
Rating: 5 out of 5 L Hathaway & BJames… AWESOME EXPERIENCE
by SamiSTL247 on 8/22/23Rate it an A+ ALL around, concerning the Artists/Concert length/Venue. Both artists were phenomenal, the performance length for both were satisfying and the venue interior (seat spacing, refreshment as well as facilities access) and exterior (parking access to building and ease of exiting) we’re all AWESOME!! I would definitely attend other events at The Factory/Chesterfield MO!! Thanks!!
