		In addition to the saxophone (although the soprano sax is his main instrument, he has also played alto and tenor), Najee can also play flute, keyboards and bass synthesizer.
		He was one of the first innovators of urban jazz, which grew in popularity throughout the 1990s.

		Najee began studying under the direction of Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster and Billy Taylor at Jazzmobile in Harlem, and he also studied flute with Harold Jones at the Manhattan School of Music.

	Najee \| My Point of View
		Supported by a variable cast that consists mainly of keyboardist/programmers (who wrote or co-wrote eight of the songs), a few guitarists, and three guest vocalists, Najee delivers a pleasant collection of danceable and romantic grooves.
		Among the best of these are the opener, “Sidewayz,” which features Najee on flute, and “2nd 2 None,” with the artist on alto saxophone.
		Penned by Najee, his brother Fareed, Reid, and newcomer Sisaundra, “Emotional” is a charming piece that fits perfectly in the urban jazz mode but could be equally at home as straight R&B or smooth jazz.

	Najee : The Best of Najee - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Best of Najee contains a selection of 11 highlights from the smooth saxophonist's late-'80s and '90s recordings for EMI/Capitol.
		There may be a few fan favorites missing, but Najee's career lends itself better to an anthology than most musicians, mainly because it is oriented toward songs, not performances.
		Consequently, this disc offers a good overview of his career, since it captures not only many of the best-known songs -- "For the Love of You," "Tokyo Blue," "Can't Hide Love," "Day by Day," "Betcha Don't Know," and "Najee's Theme" -- it also gives a good sense of what his albums sound like.
