Probably the most breathtaking live rendition of "Metropolis" that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing/hearing. Thank you for sharing.

[@gailwatson3990]

I've known about jazz for a very long time. Until I heard Metropolis by Boney James I am hooked. My new favorite song.

Ohhhh Man, this is so sweet!! One of My Top 3 Boney James songs

[@hoseaisrael]

This guy the best saxophonist living I loved the Boney James experience!!!!!!!!!

[@thequietrevolution3404]

Great Scott! I actually attended this festival. It lasted three days and also included performances by Spyro Gyro, Najee, Brian Hughes, WAR and the Rippingtons Man, how come they don't have free concerts like this anymore??

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Wow! What a Concert! My first concert with Boney was when he was with Bobby Caldwell! The Best concert I have Ever been to! 30 in the band! Tower Theater in Fresno!

[@davesims5194]

One person disliked because they cant play as smooth as boney.

[@rlperry6290]

Exactly!!! How can anyone not like this silky smooth alto!

[@emanuel450]

Boney James and Gregg Karukas just keeps getting smoother for jazz lovers. Gregg and Boney was jamming.

[@winstonwedderburn4245]

Some types of talent cannot be taught, it has to be given. Keyboard artist"s talent is God given.

[@electricwarbaby1]

I was at this concert, I was 15 years of age when I attended this festival in Ft. Meade.

[@helentaylor9663]

He is just too good

[@Ghosted760]

Some of Boney's best stuff done live. Thankyou.

[@andrewwilson8776]

Guy is such a stud!! Really makes me want to relearn saxophone again and play. His music touches my soul a lot

[@jamesduckery]

Boney was at the apex of his superpowers between 95-2001. Him & Paul Brown were like Quincy and Mike.

[@kevp9601]

THIS IS SO AWESOME

[@angelamason8797]

I love you boney and your music,you make me feel gooood.

[@dontaviouschandler3961]

I love how his keyboardist recreated the flute sounds on the Roland D-50. Very impressive!! BJ and his band here are unstoppable

[@KStatus7]

Ha!!! Beautiful!!!! Boneys music is so damn groovy man I swear

[@Ghosted760]

Just killin' it.

[@lovelylady715]

Very happy I’ve come to know who you are! I Love Love Love your music

[@kevp9601]

I LOVE IT A LOT

[@angelicalynnlove]

One of my favorites of his. But missing you is my #1 fav 🥰

[@magnetic1065]

Have you heard "So Beautiful" or "Ready For Love"? Those are my two favorites by him....as well as "Bedtime Story". Try'em if you haven't. And by the way, on another artist...….Brian Culbertson is THE Beast on piano. There are so many Jazz artists out there, but these two have took me surprise the first time I heard them.

[@rubyearmorer1952]

Another favorite of mine. He plays the sax as though he is in love with it. I like that.

[@wandafeltus3162]

Legendary!

[@roccomorelli3724]

He is amazing …period ! I could listen to he and Rick Braun non stop

[@asp8151]

I've been a fan since I heard this live in San Jose in 95 or 96 and that's Smooth Jazz that Rocks !

[@mkiguta]

This is really good. I agree!

[@gracebyseven]

My FAVORITE smooth jazz tune! Viva Boney!!

[@MrCrazyoldschool]

The fuckin 90s!! Lol ♥️Smooth jazz, ♥️Boney James.

[@rubyearmorer1952]

This song takes me back to 1996 Capital Jazz Fest when there were REAL jazz fans, who loved on Boney James and wanted to know when the record is coming out??!!! As you could see, no fedoras then, just his beret type hats and you could see his eyes and he could see you. What energy then, same energy applies now! You go Boney.

[@rokuharasachiko7804]

soooooo beautiful still so nice after 20+ years....my all-time favorite song :0

[@healthone3120]

15 years later this song is still electric in my heart!

[@daniellelac3034]

[@davidrivera2165]

96' CJF was the second time I saw Boney live, 92 was my first. Fourth and last time was in 2005' In Reno, NV at a Casino. I have the fortune of having Boney autograph his first four CD releases. Now at 64 (Boney is 62) i'm more into London base NU Jazz. Check out Yussef Dayes and Mansur Brown out of the UK.

[@bigyungnmusic]

Big Smitty Smith back in Da day!😄

[@jamesduckery]

[@palletjacked1815]

Jaminnnnnn

[@kevp9601]

CERTIFIED FRESH VANILLA CAKES FOR VERY VERY REMARKABLE 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

[@Indianeyezs24]

Amazing

[@dontaviouschandler3961]

Wow!! And this was the summer of 1996? Time sure flies when you're having fun lol. Boney hasn't aged a bit. And I was only 9 years old here.

[@TeemuVehkala-ts3te]

Haha... 35 jazz snobs disliked this live performance. This performance got that what a usual a jazz snob cannot perform and impress.. Perform with their soul and playing with their soul. Snob cannot do that, cause they are afraid to show their true self, what's actually all music is about, to show your feelings by music to the audience.

[@kevp9601]

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER FOR VERY VERY STUPENDOUS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@carrie0123210]

omg....could it be any sweeter...?!

[@Indianeyezs24]

Oooooooo mmmmmmmm

[@m.hamilton533]

I was thinking the same thing. This guy is timeless🙌🏿

[@1pelagato]

The only way to describe Boneys music is "baby making music". It is sexy, and sensual, yet very melodic and classy. I can go on but you get the picture.

[@fredricmontana5420]

Kenny G on tenor. Smooth in every way. 🙂. Great job.
