Photographer: Matthew Mitchell.Along with Kenny G, Richard Elliot and the late George Howard, Najee was one of the smooth jazz saxophonists who jazz critics loved to hate back in the late `80s and early `90s. But in 1995, Najee pleasantly surprised listeners with his engaging Stevie Wonder tribute SONGS FROM THE KEY OF LIFE; instead of simply playing Wonder's gems note-for-note, Najee seriously interpreted them and demonstrated that he could, in fact, be a legitimate soul-jazz improviser of the Washington/Turrentine/Harris variety. Which brings us to 2009's MIND OVER MATTER, a smooth jazz disc that often plays it safe but does has its moments. The automatic pilot approach doesn't serve this artist well on radio-oriented tracks such as "Love You a Lifetime, " "Sweet Summer Nights" and "Love Forever and a Day, " but Najee (who is heard on soprano sax, tenor sax, alto sax and flute) fares much better on "One More Thing" and "Stolen Glances, " both of which unite him with keyboardist/producer/composer Jeff Lorber.
