Hot Tuna

Kleinhans Music Hall presentsHot Tunawith special guest Jim LauderdaleFriday, October 24 | 8 PMMary Seaton Room Hot Tuna, an iconic American blues rock band, has been delivering a profound musical experience to audiences pushing six decades. With founding members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady at its helm, the band has constantly evolved, continually injecting fresh energy and improvisation into their sound. Joining Hot Tuna on stage is special guest, Jim Lauderdale. At any given time, you’re likely to find Jim Lauderdale making music, whether he’s laying down a new track in the studio or working through a spontaneous melody at his home in Nashville. And if he’s not actively crafting new music, he’s certainly thinking about it. “It’s a constant challenge to try to keep making better and better records, write better and better songs. I still always feel like I’m a developing artist,” he says. This may be a surprising sentiment from a man who’s won two Grammys, released 34 full-length albums, and taken home the Americana Music Association’s coveted Wagonmaster Award. But forthcoming album Game Changer is convincing evidence that the North Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft. The story of Hot Tuna begins with Jefferson Airplane, a pioneering psychedelic rock band of the 1960s. Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady were at the heart of Jefferson Airplane, contributing to its distinctive sound and monumental success. As members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy recipients, Kaukonen and Casady helped shape the musical landscape of the era, leaving an indelible mark on the history of rock and roll. In the late 1960s, amidst the turbulence and creativity of the counterculture movement, Kaukonen and Casady sought a new musical outlet. This desire led to the formation of Hot Tuna, a band that allowed them to explore their deep-rooted passion for blues and American roots music. Hot Tuna’s early performances were characterized by a raw, acoustic sound that highlighted Kaukonen’s intricate guitar work and Casady’s innovative bass lines. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1970, captured the essence of these performances and set the stage for the band’s enduring legacy. Hot Tuna has consistently evolved throughout their career, experimenting with different styles and sounds while staying true to their blues roots. The band’s discography, spanning over two dozen records, showcases their versatility and creativity. From the acoustic blues of their early years to the electric rock-infused albums of the 1970s and beyond, Hot Tuna has continually pushed the boundaries of their music. Casady, long considered one of rock’s first bass heroes, has been a driving force behind this evolution. His creativity is evidenced by his continually evolving bass solos in his extensive library of songs and live performances. At almost 85 years of age, Kaukonen remains at the apex of his skills, captivating audiences with his husky voice and proficient blues licks that rival the iconic leads of many blues rock masters. Together, they are well-seasoned musicians and musical treasures. Hot Tuna’s live performances are legendary and known for their spontaneity and energy. The band’s ability to improvise and create unique musical moments on stage has garnered them a dedicated following. Each concert is a testament to their musicianship and deep connection with the audience. To some fans, Hot Tuna reminds them of wild and happy times. To others, the name will forever be linked to their discovery of the power and depth of American Blues music. To newer fans, Hot Tuna is a band on the cutting edge of music. This multifaceted appeal has allowed Hot Tuna to remain relevant and influential across generations. Hot Tuna’s contributions to music have not gone unnoticed. In October of 2022, Jefferson Airplane was given its star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The band’s surviving members, Casady, Kaukonen, and Grace Slick attended the ceremony. Fittingly, the star is located right in front of the Musician’s Institute, cementing their place in the annals of rock history. Hot Tuna’s journey is a testament to the enduring power of passion, creativity, and innovation. From their roots in Jefferson Airplane to their status as blues-rock legends, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady have left an indelible mark on the music world. Hot Tuna remains one of American music’s most innovative Rock and Roll bands, continuing to inspire and captivate audiences with their timeless sound and unwavering dedication to their craft.

Boney James

Kleinhans Music Hall and Soul of Buffalo presentBoney JamesSlow Burn TourSunday, November 9 | 7 PMslow burn: noun, informal A feeling that grows with a slow but deliberate intensity. For saxophonist and composer Boney James, these words perfectly describe the music he has crafted for his new Concord Records album, Slow Burn, to be released on October 18, 2024. “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.” Slow 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. But 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 Next 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.” The 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.). Another prominent guest artist, rising-star R&B vocalist October London, best known for his 2023 hit The Rebirth Of Marvin is featured on the first single from the album, ‘All I Want Is You.’ Says James, “It’s one of the most exciting vocal collaborations I’ve ever recorded.” The funky ‘Slide’ features Boney on tenor saxophone and keyboards, backed by all the member of his crack touring band. “This song has a little Minneapolis feel,” says James. “I got my start as a professional musician touring with Morris Day, but this is the first time I’ve copped this groove.” The Slow Burn continues with ‘A Little Romance,’ which James calls “a very heartfelt performance from the saxophone it’s romantic, hence the name.” Both ‘Gonna Have a Good Time’ and ‘The Bounce’ keep the mood upbeat. Says James about the latter, “When I listen to it, I start doing this little bounce. It just puts a big smile on my face.” The penultimate track on Slow Burn is ‘Between the Lines,’ followed by a grooving take on saxophonist Stanley Turrentine’s ‘Sugar,’ featuring longtime friend and collaborator Rick Braun on trumpet. “I’ve always loved this song. It was a really fun and special way to pay homage to Stanley Turrentine, who was a definite influence on me,” says James. Slow Burn follows two of the most successful albums of James’ career, 2020’s Solid and 2022’s Detour which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart. James is, of course, thrilled that his music continues to reach new audiences more than thirty years after he released his debut album, Trust, in 1992. “It’s always been my goal to be one of those guys that would just keep doing it at a high level,” he says, “and to have that connection with the audience.” That’s what it’s always been about for Boney James. Growing up in New Rochelle, New York, James played clarinet in his school band, but two years later, he says, “The teacher needed a sax player. As soon as I switched, playing it became my favorite thing to do.” By the time he entered his teens, James was already gigging with bands, and he turned pro at 19. After years of paying his dues with artists like The Isley Brothers, Teena Marie and many more, Boney cut his first album on an independent label, which led immediately to a major label deal and a string of increasingly successful recordings and nonstop touring. Now residing in Los Angeles with wife, director Lily Mariye, James says, “I wake up each day and try to play a little better. To quote the cellist Pablo Casals ‘I think I’m making progress.’ I am really proud of my playing on this new record. And I absolutely love the songs and the sound I achieved.” Some might say it has a Slow Burn: a deliberate intensity.
