Named within Top 3 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Artists of the Decade - Billboard magazine 2009
The Boston Globe once stated that Boney James should not be considered a smooth jazz artist because his music is "muscular and gritty."
(Source - Wikipedia)
As of 2017, Boney James has recorded 16 albums...
...Two of which I own - Body Language and Ride.
Where Chris Botti is emotionally driven (my opinion), Boney James taps into a listener's senses in his performance (my opinion). I can see his recordings to be muscular as the Boston Globe believes, but I also feel that Boney James' work is sensual and enticing to leave a listener wanting more.
"RPM" is a track from the album, Ride. If you love contemporary jazz, Boney James is worth considering and I will say that "RPM" is addictive.
