About Me:

In the ever changing music world, consistency is a much-treasured quality. Over ten albums (including two platinum and four gold sets) and a two-decade-long career, renowned saxophonist, flautist, songwriter and producer Najee has distinguished himself as one of the most consistently popular instrumentalists among both jazz and R&B audiences worldwide. Indeed, he quips with typical modesty, “People say I’m reaching the ‘legendary’ stage in my career. I just feel very fortunate to have been an instrumentalist in this business for this long.” The native New Yorker continues to provide quality music, which is evident in Mind Over Matter, his August 25, 2009 release on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. “I started out in the R&B world,” he comments, “and I made R&B-flavored records with the saxophone. Over time, some of that audience crossed over to jazz. In fact, I’ve had people tell me that my music was like a bridge from R&B to jazz, and that’s something I’ve been credited with since the start of my career. With this new album, I want to reconnect with my early audiences as well as appeal to the smooth jazz market with which I’ve been associated for a while.”

Sometimes making music is all about the mechanics – balancing the melody with the harmony and the rhythm, making sure the tempo is right from the beginning of the song to the end, matching the right vocalist to the story within the lyrics, knowing when to come in with the solos and when to hang back…the litany of technical details to consider in crafting a piece of good music can b… Continue

Hopefully you remember many years ago, a gig you did at the House of Blues in Hollywood when a Band called Pacific Breeze opened for you. I was the drummer in that band. I still remember that night. It was such a pleasure meeting you and your band. Just today I was playing the live CD you did with Billy Cobham and Stanley Clark at the Greek. Great stuff. God Bless you and I'll talk to you soon.
