Please join chart-topping jazz and R&B sax player Boney James in The Locher Room. Boney will be here to tell us about his 18th studio album, Detour via Concord Records. Detour was just released on September 23rd.

Featuring the breezy current hit single “Coastin” with five-time Grammy winner Lalah Hathway on vocals, the new 10-song collection is a subtle stylistic turn that builds on the commercial success of 2020’s Solid, James’ highest charting release ever on the pop charts. Other standouts on Detour include the track “Bring It Back”, which features critically acclaimed composer, conductor, orchestrator, arranger, and trumpeter, Dontae Winslow; and the album’s title track “Detour,” a winding, playful duet between sax and piano that features some of Boney’s most adventurous playing to date.

During his 30-year career, Boney James has released a staggering 18 studio albums – including a pair of Christmas records -with 1995’s Seduction, 1997’s Sweet Thing and 1999’s Body Language all RIAA certified gold. In 2015, Boney’s futuresoul spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and was the best-selling Contemporary Jazz Record of 2015. Boney has earned four Grammy nominations, two NAACP Image Award nominations and a Soul Train Award, while a dozen of his albums have landed at #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Album chart.

James will continue on the road for select dates across the U.S. which will take him well into 2023. Promising to bring James’ iconic 30-year career to the live stage, including selections from Detour, the multi-city trek will hit a number of major markets including New York, NY, Detroit, MI, Jacksonville, FL, Alexandria, VA, and Annapolis, MD.
