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, his new CD set for release on Heads Up International on August 14, 2007.
Always the innovator, Najee blends various shades of straight-ahead 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.’”
