 NAJEE WONDER
Submitted on: 2008-10-09 |
|
| ESTE TRABAJO CONSIGE LO QUE NAJEE QUIERE, QUE NO ES OTRA COSA QUE SIN PEREDER EL SENTIDO ARMONICO DE LA MUSICA DE STEVIE, ESTA SUENE MUY "JAZZI" CON UNA PRODUCCION MUY DECENTE, EN SU CONTRA TENGO QUE DECIR QUE LOS AFICIONADOS MAS PROFUNDOS HUBIESEN DISFRUTADO MAS DE ESTE TRIBUTO SI HUBIESE HABIDO MAS RIESGO A LA HORA DE IMPROVISAR. |

| This is one of the best CDs I have ever heard! I love the songs, the arrangements, the instrumentation. I listen to it frequently, whether I'm in the car, at work, at home. It's great! |

Despite what others may think I think it is a very enjoyable cd. Very relaxing, mature, and upbeat. I am not a jazz expert or one on Stevie Wonder and this is my first Najee cd but anyone with a musical ear will appreciate it.
His style is very suave, and the supporting instruments are very good too.
There is a lot of rhythm and soul and variation in the compilation, you can even dance to some tracks. It is far from bland, subtle at the least. I'm sure Stevie Wonder would be proud.
I especially like tracks 6,7,8,14,17.
I would certainly recommend it. |

A Loving Homage to one of music's BEST ALBUMS!

| Najee creates the songs from Wonder's Grammy-winning tour de force so closely that it's hard to distinguish some from their original versions. All that's needed are Stevie's vocals and harmonica. There is very little variation, with only "Sir Duke" having a jazzier take, obviously a tribute to both Wonder and Ellington. The saxophonist/flautist is in top form here. He's not just a "black Kenny G". There is more soul and jazz in these performances than Mr. G has ever done in his long and popular career. These "songs" are worthy to be heard! |

Thanking Najee,For Giving A Tribute To Stevie Wonder2001
Submitted on: 2001-04-23 |

| To whom it may concern today April 22nd 2001 I'm a long time fan of Stevie Wonder,and Najee. I just want to say Thank You for this Beautiful compact disc, that Najee,released in 1995 19 years after Stevie Wonder,released "Songs In The Key Of Life" October 1976; I like the fact that Najee, recorded this compact disc in the exact same order that Stevie Wonder, did back in 1976. Also I like the fact again that this compact disc, is all instrumental and over 60 minutes long in the duration of time. I hope that Najee,will someday maybe do a tribute to one of my favorite singer and musical genius who died way before his time on January 13th 1979. The person I'm writing about is the late great Donny Hathaway, who was 33 years old at the time of his death. Donny Hathaway's, birthday is or was October 1st 1945. I think what would be nice if either Stevie Wonder, or Luther Vandross, did the singing part of this tribute to Donny Hathaway on Najee's compact disc. I learned that Everette Harp, had Najee,helped out on Everette Harp's, tribute compact disc "What's Going On" of 1997 I like that Everette Harp,and Najee, worked together that's great to have recording proformers having a good understanding about music as a same achievement product,for the buying public like myself. I hope that Everette Harp,and Najee, will work together again in the near future. I've been a Najee,fan ever since his first album was released in 1986 to the present time 2001. As for Everette Harp,I remember when Everette Harp,was the saxophone player on the Arsenio Hall,show back in 1989 or 1990. Arsenio Hall, use to comment on Everette Harp's, long ponytail back on Arsenio Hall's, show. Well that's all for now until next time Take Care and God's Speed,Yours Truly Kevin Small,a fan of Najee,and Everette Harp, "Love,Peace&Happiness" |
