About Boney's Funky Christmas

Product Description Body Language, the 1999 album from virtuoso saxophonist and Smooth Jazz superstar Boney James, is the biggest selling Contemporary Jazz album of the year to date. So with the holiday season approaching, it's a great time to unwrap the re-release of Boney's Funky Christmas, his very popular 1996 album. From traditional carols to Mel Torme's classic "The Christmas Song," from Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" to music from "A Charlie Brown Christmas," Bone's Funky Christmas is smooth and sophisticated yuletide cheer. Amazon.com Taking, perhaps, his cue from , tenor saxman Boney James's silky tone and mainstream arrangements of nine seasonal standards take few risks on the improvisational front. Instead, James sails through such fare as "The Christmas Song," the grooving "This Christmas," and similar accounts. Reduced to its common elements, Funky Christmas is merely barroom funky, if not a little seductive. And therein lies this cat's charm: bedroom eyes. Perfect for that holiday date you've finally managed to make, Funky Christmas is an easy-listening set that will make ol' Santa think twice before he slips back up the chimney and out into the cold. --Martin Keller
