Four-time GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist, producer, and composer Boney James returns with his latest album, Slow Burn — a project defined by deep grooves, rich melodies, and a steadily building intensity true to its title. With nearly three decades of success, 20 Billboard Smooth Jazz #1 singles, multiple Gold records, and industry awards, Boney continues to evolve while staying connected to the soulful sound fans love.
Slow Burn marks a fresh chapter for the acclaimed artist, featuring standout moments including a rare acoustic bass performance by Marcus Miller on “Arcadia,” a reimagined take on Herbie Hancock’s “Butterfly,” and a collaboration with rising R&B star October London on the single “All I Want Is You.” Boney also joins forces with multi-instrumentalist Jairus Mozee on several original tracks, bringing new energy and movement to his music.
From danceable funk and smooth romance to his tribute to sax legend Stanley Turrentine, the album showcases Boney at his most expressive — confident, creative, and still pushing boundaries.
Now based in Los Angeles and still driven by the same passion he discovered as a teen in New York, Boney James proves once again that great music doesn’t fade — it builds.
A true slow burn.
