Like the notorious Mr. G, he's adept at combining pop, jazz and contemporary R&B. James' sax lines drip lugubriously from his slick, glossy arrangements. Sparkling digital synth and programmed rhythms provide a softly syncopated backdrop for the artist's melodies. These soft, sensual tunes are the aural equivalent of immersion in a hot tub (presumably James' exact intention). If you want daring improvisations or harmonic innovation, you'd be best served elsewhere, but if you're looking for unabashed make-out music, BODY LANGUAGE will fill the bill.

Saxophonist Boney James spent the requisite decade or so touring with jazz fusion and R&B acts as a side player, but stepped into the spotlight in 1992 with a debut album that showcased his supple skills on tenor, alto, and soprano sax, on both melodic originals and imaginative covers. His trademark blend of sexy R&B and heady jazz appealed to a wide range of listeners, and he has since released albums on a regular schedule, scoring hits on the jazz, R&B, and dance charts.
