BONEY JAMES SUPPORTS NEW RELEASE WITH STOP AT ONE WORLD THEATRE
AUSTIN, Texas – The ultimate funkateer, Boney James returns to One World Theatre! With a vibrant live show and acclaimed February 2009 release, Send One Your Love, James furthers his longstanding reputation as a major force in both the worlds of Jazz and R&B. He will be presented by Hartt & Soul Productions on Friday, July 10th.
Tickets to the Boney James shows at 7 & 9:30 pm are $40, $65 and $80. To order, call 512.32.WORLD (329.6753). For more information, visit www.OneWorldTheatre.org.
Saxophonist/producer/songwriter Boney James has the unique gift of making the saxophone sing like a human voice, resulting in millions of albums sold over the past 16 years (including four that have been RIAA certified gold). But for his new Concord CD, Send One Your Love, a sublime collection of ten seductive love songs, James decided to take a different path with his first ever concept album.
Send One Your Love features stunning covers of songs by Stevie Wonder (the title track), the Stylistics ("Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)," Barry White ("I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby"), John Klemmer ("Touch") and James Taylor ("Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"). The CD also showcases four new James compositions. He also plays tenor, alto and soprano saxophones on Send One Your Love.
I'm going to be starting the initial planning phases for the 1st Austinjazz.net Texas Jazz Fest, which will have an online presence at TexasJazzFest.com. This new endeavor has been a personal goal of mine for many years now, and after 4+ years of growing Austinjazz.net into the leading source of jazz-related news in Austin, Texas, as well as with my vast networking and vendor contacts that I've established through UnrealAustin.com, I now have some initial concepts in mind and I'm excited! While my Austin Jazz Festivals have been local in nature, the Texas Jazz Fest will include huge international artists in combination with local acts. I truly believe that only Austin could provide the greatest jazz festival in Texas - if we're supposedly considered the live music capital of the world, then that should make sense! I want to make it TEXAS HUGE!
I will be looking for volunteers to assist me with this endeavor. If you're interested, email me at
