ABOUT BONEY JAMES:

Boney James took up clarinet at age 8 and switched to sax when he was 10. Raised in New Rochelle, NY, he was influenced by Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire and saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. When he was 14, his family moved to Los Angeles. He received a History degree from UCLA and began playing music full-time after graduation. Breaking into the music biz in the mid-80s, he toured with acts such as The Isley Brothers, Morris Day (The Time), Randy Crawford, and Teena Marie, he has long been influenced by contemporary R&B. He emerged as a solo force in 1992 with his breakthrough debut, Trust. James dislikes labels and refuses any and all of them. “In fact, I have never thought of myself as a ‘jazz’ artist specifically,” he says. This statement may serve as a source of confusion for his legion of fans that have bought over 3 million copies of his 12 albums (8 hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart). It also may seem contradictory to the respected opinions of music critics who consider him one of the most influential jazz artists of his generation. In 2010 Billboard Magazine named him “The No. 3 Top Contemporary Jazz Artist of the Decade.” Even so, Boney James, who has four Gold albums, three Grammy® nominations, a Soul Train Award and an NAACP Award nomination to his credit, says, “I am just a saxophone player whose music has several different influences. Jazz is only one of them.”


Recently remodeled with a bold design, the Hornblower Infinity matches the uniqueness of New York — and the Smooth Cruises! The open bow, covered sky deck and over-sized windows provide endless opportunities to enjoy the countless sites in NY Harbor as guests kick back with the best jazz artists in the business. Guests will enjoy the world’s finest contemporary jazz on climate controlled interior decks with multiple dance floors, and can take in the sights outdoors on spacious exterior sundecks.
