 A nice mix of smooth jazz tracks...in my opinion, an underrated project

| Najee is truly a fine musician; he has a very distinctive smooth jazz sound and style of his own, both on the saxophone and on the flute, and Embrace showcases Najee's distinctive sound. There is definitely something to like here on Embrace for every listener; I find the whole CD to be very good, particularly tracks 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 11. No two tracks sound the same; there is definitely a variety here. Is it his best work yet? I would say not, but it is, in my opinion, just as good as his previous projects. I would have to say that Embrace is underrated; there is a lot of good music here.....definitely worth buying. |

Saxophonist Najee's sexy soulful magic is enhanced with smooth jazz moods and playful embraces that invite you to just relax and melt into each note. Contemporary Jazz at its best...

| I was really excited when I found out Najee had a new album out. I have all his CDs from "Najee's theme" to "morning tenderness". He has not really released any good album since morning tenderness back in 1998. I am a very big fan of Najee but his latest release was a disappointment. I found only 2 out of 12 tracks to be good. Only tracks 1 and 5 were good as far as I am concerned. I know this man's play very well but this was not the Najee I used to know. I thought "Tokyo blues" was bad but this latest release was abysmal. Najee really needs to work harder. I am surprised someone gave him 4 stars. Overall, do not buy this album |

| I listened to Najee chat with Dave Koz (saxophonist/radio host) about his latest project Embrace on 94.7 (radio) last month. He talked about the relevance to the album's title-Embrace (American's embraced each other after healing post September 2001). Embrace is Najee's first musical project on Ncoded. He also mentioned that he had been through a few music labels. In addition, he mentioned that he had worked with Prince on two of his (Prince's) albums. I really appreciated Najee's collaboration with Roy Ayers (his jazz influence) on Vibin' with Ayers. My favorite tunes? Mali's Bounce, Eye 2 Eye, On My Way and Sunshine Sometimes Rain -who I thought featured songstress Chaka Khan when I first experienced the song. However, the featured vocalist is Robyn Springer. I liked the up-tempo tunes more. I wish there were more of them--like collaborations he has performed with other musicians. I would love to hear Najee shift gears and do more up-tempo tunes. |
