Cool music for relaxing.......2001-07-25

I stumbled upon this CD recently while looking for some music to take to work. I used to play this CD all the time because it soothes me. Najee is really gifted, and I wonder why we've not heard from him lately.

Not to come off as some type of purist, but I think this music is more easy listening than Jazz -- kind of like Kenny G., Dave Koz and that ilk. It's hard for me to explain my reasoning, but this music doesn't evoke the same feel as does classic Miles or even contemporary artists like Wynton Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson. It's just not edgy enough. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

As usual, Najee's playing is enhanced by some impressive guest vocals. Freddy Jackson guests on the pretty ballad "All I Ever Ask," and Jeffrey Osborne shines on "Loving Every Minute."

" The right stuff ".......2000-05-16

This is a very up lifting cd, Najee is at his best.It is sexysmooth & sensual that about says it all! " a winner "

A Remake Of A Color Me Badd Song?.......1999-12-06

Najee has to be the best saxophonist/flutist around. Obviously, since this came out in '93, some of these songs are kinda old skool ("Burn It Up," "Breezy"), but this is of no matter to me, as the songs still good. Check out "Touch Of Heaven," the Color Me Badd remake "I Adore Mi Amor," "Just An Illusion," "Noah's Ark", and my favorite one, "Skyline." If you like smooth jazz, Najee is the one to pick up.

The perfect jazz album. No doubt about it!.......1999-06-14

I've always loved jazz, and this is the best jazz album to have come out in this decade! I'm definitely in love with this man's music. Not even Kenny G can do the things Najee can! I love the way Najee handles the soprano sax, and his alto and tenor works are even better! I love the title track, "All I Ever Ask" (with Freddie Jackson), "Burn it Up" (with Marcus Miller, who's also done some marvelous work with Luther Vandross), and "Skyline." The best track on this album is "Here We Go," because it's inspired by hip-hop and bebop. Finally, "Whenever We're Together" wraps up the best compilation of slow jams and upbeat dance tunes ever put together. Najee's the man, and I'll look for more from this talented man!

TO.......1999-04-03

NAJEE HAS A SOULFUL KIND OF JAZZ THAT WILL MAKE YOU GO TO ONE OF HIS CONCERTS. THE MUSIC TAKES YOU THERE.
