Editorial Reviews
2009 album from the contemporary Jazz great. Mind Over Matter is inspired by Miles Davis' approach to songwriting, especially in the latter part of his career. ''In his later years, he took a very loose and improvisational approach,'' he says. ''He would start with nothing more than a groove that Marcus Miller or some other member of his band would lay down. And from there he would just develop these melodies that were very simple but at the same time very compelling and very memorable. It was a creative process that bypassed the nuts and bolts of the song and just got right to the essence of it.'' The album features musical assistance from Eric Benet, Jeff Lorber, Will Brock, Will Holton and Gary Taylor.

Format:Audio CD
A very solid effort from my man Najee. I especially like the opener Love You A Life Time, the funky Mind Over Matter (Great Piano work), Forever And A Day After (Made for Cruising), Needless To Say (nice rhythm section), One More Thing (Head Nodder). You won't be disappointed with this one.

This was my first purchase of Najee's music in some time. I felt he had gone stale but this is a new direction and has lots of variety for the c jazz fan.

What can I say It's Najee, truly wonderful! I have been a fan since he first appeared on the music scene in the 80's.

Najee's Mind Over Matter review
I loved every song on the CD. "Sweet Summer Nights" was fantastic. Eric Benet's "We Gone Ride" should be played on as a single; if it already hasn't. Read more

Easy listening
Good, relaxing music. I especially enjoyed the song w/Eric Benet. I like that Najee switches back and forth from Soprano to Alto sax, so some songs have a different sound.

He's Done It Again!
Its getting a little boring but Najee has done it again, more so for those of us who have seen him live and dig his sound. Another great album, this time with a few latin twists. Read more

Najee takes me there!
I can always count on Najee to take me there. I am feeling "Stolen Glances" , " One More Thing", " Sweet Summer's Night" and " Love you a lifetime". Great music.

Najee good to have you doing what you do best
Love this guy, his sound got a little predictable, that's fine, however a musician of Najees calibre needs to be more than "fine" & this album is a huge cut above that. Enjoy it.
