Review on Get in Touch by Shannon Myers

First of all, as a jazz teacher, I would like to say that although Boney James is an excellent horn player, he is an R&B (rhythm and blues) player, but not a jazz saxophonist. Listen to John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker to name a few, this is a Jazzman. However, I really enjoy listening to Boni's music, I have almost all of his CDs and have had the pleasure of meeting him. one day, and he's a fine, gifted young man. I like "Contact" but I'm not a big fan of all the lyrics being too much on this CD. If I visit a horn player or buy a horn player's CD, well; I prefer to listen to the musician playing his French horn. This CD is very good, but I would have liked a lot less vocals and more sax playing. "Shake It Up" was a huge hit because it had great saxophone, trumpet and flugelhorn parts which made this CD very interesting to listen to. Again, I have a lot of respect for Bony, but I hope there will be less vocals and a lot more saxophone in his next release. All the best to you, keep playing music and always listening to music. Engage children in music when the child opens their music box; There is a new adventure, a new world that you will discover every time. All the best and God bless - peace
