SUMMARY:Boney James - Slow Burn Tour
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist and composer Boney James’s new Concord Records album\, Slow Burn\, was released  October 18\, 2024. \n“When I mentioned that phrase to people as a possible title\, they said\, “That also refers to your  whole career in a way” James says with a laugh. “This is my 19th record and I feel like I’m just  hitting my stride.” \nSlow Burn is a new high point in a remarkable career that now spans more than three decades  and includes a long list of accolades; four GRAMMY nominations\, three NAACP Image Award  nominations\, a Soul Train Award for Best Jazz Album and four RIAA Gold Record certifications.  In 2009\, Billboard named James one of the Top 3 Contemporary Jazz Artists of the decade. In  2024 year Boney became the first ever artist to score 20 number one singles on the Billboard Smooth Jazz chart. \nBut Boney James has never been one to look backwards and Slow Burn\, which the artist  produced\, marks several firsts. Beginning with the album’s opening track\, ‘Arcadia.’ The very first notes on the album are the acoustic bass playing of the legendary Marcus Miller.  It’s one of the few times that Miller\, known for his electric bass guitar work\, has committed his  standup bass playing to a recording and the first time that James has incorporated an upright bass  into his own music \nNext is James’ intriguing interpretation of the classic ‘Butterfly.’ Co-written by master  keyboardist Herbie Hancock and Bennie Maupin\, the track features Marcus Miller again as well  as young lion Cory Henry’s inspired electric piano. “This beautiful melody got stuck in my head”  explains James. “I have never covered a tune by a legend like Herbie before and I hope we did  him justice.” \nThe title track\, ‘Slow Burn\,’ is one of four tunes on the album that James co-wrote and co produced with multi-instrumentalist Jairus Mozee ( known for his work with Anderson Paak\,  Anthony Hamilton and Nikki Minaj etc.). \nTickets:\n$75 General Public *processing fee included in price\n$63 SCSU Faculty/Staff *processing fee included in price\nSeating: Reserved

SUMMARY:Chief Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott)
DESCRIPTION:Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott) is an artist who has never been content to stand still and inhabit only the present. Adjuah changed his name out of a desire to connect with his family roots in West Africa and clear a stronger path to the future. His music similarly embraces the African roots of jazz while simultaneously embodying the genre’s spirit of innovation. \nAdjuah has developed custom instruments — including the Adjuah trumpet\, Siren\, Sirenette\, and the Adjuah bow — as part of an ongoing quest to explore new sounds. His work as a composer and bandleader rejects restrictive ideas of genre\, shattering boundaries in pursuit of limitless innovation. That pursuit has earned him awards and critical acclaim across thirteen albums. \nAdjuah and his band will bring Adjuah’s vision of music that blends past\, present\, and future to the Frederick C. Tillis Performance Hall stage following a day spent working with students from throughout New England at the UMass Department of Music and Dance’s annual High School Jazz Festival. This — a composer\, performer\, and scholar who is fully committed to the evolution of his artform working with young musicians — is the very essence of our future-oriented Next50 series. \nTotal price starts at: $35.00.\nTotal price for youth 17 and under and Five College students starts at: $20.00
