Boney James & JJ Sansaverino - Champagne Jazz at Thornton Winery

You found this. Be the first one here.

Sunday evening, the last real weekend of the season, the Temecula hills going amber behind the stage -- and Boney James picking up the saxophone that has sold more records than almost anyone else's in his lane. Four Grammy nominations, a couple of decades at the top of the contemporary jazz charts, and a live show that runs warmer and funkier than the studio ever let on. Guitarist JJ Sansaverino rides shotgun. Thornton closes its October slate with the usual grace: estate sparkling wine, terrace dinner service, and that specific golden-hour light the winery seems to have a private deal with. A Sunday show is a small gift -- no Monday-morning dread yet, just the long exhale of a good weekend earned. Take the short drive out to the vineyard. Let someone else's saxophone carry the last of your summer out the door.
