It's been a year since Boney James released his latest album, "The Beat." And one thing he's learned during the past 12 months is that the songs work well on stage."This record did have a little bit of a live flavor to it, a lot of live interaction, so it's easy to translate into a live performance," says the 52-year-old saxophonist, who was born James Oppenheim in Massachusetts and now resides in Los Angeles.
