Editorial Reviews
Saxophonist Najee, the two-time Grammy nominee and a pioneer of the rhythm and jazz movement of the late ‘80s and ‘90s, continues to shed new light on the contemporary jazz scene with Rising Sun. Always the innovator, Najee blends various shades of straightahead as well as contemporary jazz, classic R&B and even indie rock on this new ten-song set. The result is an album that’s destined to appeal to established fans of his multi-layered groove as well as listeners who are meeting the artist for the first time. The idea was to try to do something a little different from before, says the New York native. But the challenge in that is to always stay true to my own creative identity at the same time. People who are familiar with me and my music have certain expectations, but I’m always looking for something that’s going to make people say, ‘Hey, this is a little different. This is something fresh.’Contributing to this fresh perspective is a coterie of talented songwriters and session players. Producer Chris Davis, who first teamed up with Najee on his previous Heads Up release, returns to the production helm on Rising Sun, and offers numerous songwriting credits as well. Najee also co-authors two tracks with labelmate and Pieces of a Dream keyboardist and songwriter extraordinaire James Lloyd. In addition, the saxophonist borrows a couple songs from the old school as well as the new one from veteran jazz flutist James Moody and another from reigning indie rock songwriter/guitarist John Mayer.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Rising Sun (Audio CD)
I like Najee's music I like this cd.It starts of with the John Mayer song Clarity from his Heavier-Things CD. Clarity is a soothing and serene song .I would give a listen to the orginal song Clarity it has differnt ending.all the songs on the CD are good because Najee is a very good musician. He can make magic happen when he plays furthermore,you can feel the joy and the energy in his music. When he plays he plays from the heart and soul. I have been a fan for years because he is simply brillant keep making beautiful music Najee

This review is from: Rising Sun (Audio CD)
Najee, what can I say, I've not heard a Najee Cd that I didn't like< yet this one is a masterpiece, the nice favor and some real nice mixes that were quite relaxing. I started flipping though the tracts like I always do, yet I found myself listening to each track in it's entirety. Nice job a real must have.
