BEST JAZZ SHOW EVER!!!! This was a great night. The crowd was into the show. The venue is a new outdoor Amphitheater in henry County. It was a perfect October evening. Boney James is incredible and he played our favorite songs. Hope you get more Jazz acts soon.

Easy to find venue. Easy to park. Boney and his band were great. The Florida theater is comfortable and attractive but the acoustics were not as good as the Ruth Eckerd hall (St Pete), or Levine Center (Charlotte) other SE venues where I’ve seen Boney play. The relatively small size of the auditorium made it very distracting when spectators arrived late or frequently got up out of their seats to go to the lobby and return. Seemed a lot of people in the Jacksonville crowd came in late and/or kept getting up to go to the lobby and back.

This concert was AMAZING!!! The venue was beautifully intimate, as the description stated. Boney James is my first love when it comes to jazz and R and B. He and his super talented band did not disappoint!!! Boney and his band interacted with the crowd and we loved every minute of the show. I didn’t want the night to end! I will definitely be returning. I will say that the seats were small, as another reviewer stated; however, I was comfortable. The experience was a 10 out of 10!!!!

About Boney James

It’s been a full quarter-century since a young saxophonist and composer released his debut recording as a leader, Trust. On September 1, 2017, Boney James released his 16th album, this one titled Honestly. If you sense a direct line between those titles, you’ve already come a long way toward understanding what motivates the four-time GRAMMY nominee and multi-platinum-selling musician.

“I’m fighting the good fight to be my own artist and not be pigeonholed,” says the genre-blurring James. “With a record’s title I always try to find something that will communicate the feeling I get when I listen to it. The feeling I get with this music is a sense of sincerity and intimacy. The word ‘honestly’ really reflects how I aspire to live my life and create my music. These are interesting times we are living in and the one thing I can do with the skills that I have is to make music that evokes a feeling and takes people somewhere… to do what I can to try and make the world a more pleasant place.”

Honestly follows futuresoul, James’ 2015 release which spent eleven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart. The New York Times raved, “Boney James performs with panache...His arc as a soloist is emotional...he can paint a scene.” Honestly, says James, is quite different sounding than the previous record. “It’s more exposed,” he says of the 10-track collection. “A number of the songs have a more buoyant, cheerful, happy quality to them.” James produced the record and co-wrote all but one track, his interpretation of the Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael classic ‘Skylark.’

His skill as a performer as well as a recording artist garnered this notice from the Boston Globe, “James swaggered across the stage like a blacktop hero draining treys on an over-matched opponent. He even weaved his way through the audience, never missing a beat and all but daring the crowd not to have a good time."

Over the years, James has racked up sales of more than three million records, four RIAA gold albums, four GRAMMY nominations, a Soul Train Award, nominations for two NAACP Image Awards and 10 CDs atop Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. In 2009, Billboard named him one of the Top 3 Contemporary Jazz Artists Of The Decade along with Kenny G and Norah Jones.

With Honestly, as with futuresoul and the GRAMMY-nominated The Beat before it, Boney James is making some of the most stellar, wholly realized music of his career. “I’ve just grown up, personally and musically,” he says. “I’m a lot calmer now when I approach making music and have more confidence. I’m a “give-110 percent” kind of person and I’m enjoying the process more now. I think that comes out in the music. Maybe that’s why this new record is so much fun to listen to. There are parts on the record that still make me smile.”
