The funky\/R&amp;B\/soul jazz artist will present &#8220;An Evening With Boney James&#8221; for the final show of the 2018 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James is currently on tour in support of his latest album &#8220;Honestly&#8221;<i> <\/i>which follows his 2015 album &#8220;Futuresoul&#8221;<i>&nbsp;<\/i>that spent 11 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart. &#8220;Honestly&#8221; is&nbsp;currently no. 11 on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart and his new single &#8220;Up All Night&#8221; has held a spot at no. 1 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz airplay chart for four consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backstage SoCal caught up with James for a Quick Q&amp;A prior to his Newport show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throughout the years that we have had the pleasure of interviewing you and covering your concerts, you have included a variety of surprises &#8211; including special guests and cover songs &#8211; into your shows. What kind of unique elements will you present at the closing show of the Hyatt Summer Concert Series?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This show is different from our last time at the Hyatt Newport. My &#8220;Honestly &#8221; CD came out since we were there and we&#8217;re playing a bunch of new songs as well as some of my catalog that I hadn&#8217;t played before. It&#8217;s a really fun show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We last spoke in December when you performed the Hyatt Regency&#8217;s New Years Eve Party with Jeffrey Osborne. What exciting things has 2018 brought you?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well the new record has been a big success with three #1 singles and a crossover R&amp;B track that did really well too. That&#8217;s always a thrill. Mainly we&#8217;ve been out on the road playing shows, which is still one of my favorite things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which jazz artists are you often compared to?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hmm, not sure about that. I&#8217;ve mentioned Grover Washington Jr as a big influence when I was younger, but I&#8217;m not really sure what people are saying about me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice do you give aspiring jazz artists?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just keep doing it! And practice!&nbsp;If you have the passion to make music, it&#8217;s a great thing to struggle for whether you &#8220;make it&#8221; or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What challenges do jazz artists face today in comparison to other music and art forms?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a tough question for me since I was fortunate to come on the scene and gain an audience before all the major changes in the music business.&nbsp;It&#8217;s always challenging to make and sustain a career in any art form, and the internet has just made new challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just try to keep my head down and focus on making great music and putting on great shows.&nbsp;I&#8217;m grateful my audience is still interested and this has been my best year ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What can your fans expect from you in the near future?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re announcing a big Spring Tour for April 2019, adding another 20 shows to the Honestly Tour.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve just started dusting off the studio to think about new music.&nbsp;Hopefully in 2020 I&#8217;ll have something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/backstagesocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2.jpg\" alt=\"boney2\" class=\"wp-image-469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/backstagesocal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/boney2-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Evening with Boney James<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, 1107 Jamboree Road<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> 8 p.m. Oct. 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tickets:<\/strong>&nbsp;$75-$125<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Web:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hyattconcerts.tix.com\/\">hyattconcerts.tix.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four-time Grammy nominee and multi-platinum selling sax-man&nbsp;Boney James will perform the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Summer Concert Series on Friday, Oct. 12.
