Najee biography, Najee discography
Najee Mustafaa, birth name Reggie Rutland, (born June 20, 1964 in East Point, Georgia) is a former professional American football player who played safety for seven seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, and Oakland Raiders.He played collegiately for the Georgia Tech football team.This biographical article relating to an American football defensive back born in the 1960s is a stub.Alternate HTML content should be placed here.Netscape does not like the word "transparent".All copyrights reserved by the artist.He hit on a commercially successful formula with his 1987 debut Najee's Theme and has stuck closely to it ever since.His 1995 recording Songs From the Key of Life was something of an exception, as it added a little more muscle as well as a few touches of improvisation and some relatively creative string and horn arrangements.In general though, he likes to keep things smooth, polished and predictable, and that's why he's sold so many records over the years.Hear Najee and similar artists on this channel.In
my formative years, I would imitate people like Grover
Washington, Parker or John Coltrane
or Hubert Laws, but all of it gets filtered through my own sensibilities.Najee,pioneer
of the 'rhythm and jazz' movement of the '80s that helped define the contemporary
jazz scene, is set to release MY POINT OF VIEW on August 23.Congratulations to Dave Love and the Heads
Up label on their 15th Anniversary.When one thinks of
the music labels that have come and gone in the last fifteen years it's easy to
appreciate Heads Up that feature some of the biggest names in Contemporary Jazz
including the Yellowjackets, Hiroshima
and recent signings like saxophonists Walter
Beasley, Michael Brecker and Najee.The latter will release his first album for the label in August 2005.It's a long awaited comeback for Najee
as he prepares the release of his first album of new material since 1998.BoardsFan SitesRelated ArtistsSimilar ArtistsGrover Washington, Jr.The Fourth Annual Dave Koz Cruise!Often compared to Kenny G, George Howard, and Dave Koz, the New Yorker has been greatly influenced by Grover Washington Jr.Heavily produced and quite formulaic, Najee's albums have tended to avoid improvisation and strive for commercial radio airplay above all else.Alfonzo Blackwell's soulful new CD "Dance To This" Truly Hot Sax.Day Cruise with Top Jazz Artists.Buy MusicWant to see your products in Yahoo!Current Advertisers Sign InHelp improve Yahoo!View RSS FeedMake money with Yahoo!Information about prices, products, services and merchants is provided by third parties and is for informational purposes only.If you have a My Ticketmaster account, this artist will be added to My Alerts in My Ticketmaster.If you are under 13 years old, you must not fill in this form or provide any information about yourself.Najee Plays Songs from the Key of ...By clicking any links above, the iTunes application will launch or you will be prompted to download iTunes if you don't have it.Often compared to Kenny G, George Howard, and Dave Koz, the New Yorker has been greatly influenced by Grover Washington, Jr.Heavily produced and quite formulaic, Najee's albums have tended to avoid improvisation and strive for commercial radio airplay above all else.Debuting in 1987 with Najee's Theme, Najee was an immediate hit in the new adult contemporary (NAC) market.But financially, Najee has had little incentive to pursue such a project.Use of this site is subject to express terms of use, which prohibit commercial use of this site.By continuing past this page, you agree to abide by these terms.All Music Guide is a trademark of All Media Guide, LLC.With two platinum and four gold albums, Najee is one of the pioneers of what is commonly known as contemporary jazz.B, this genre forms a bridge from the jazz fusion of the late 70s to the jazz pop of the mid 80s.As a native New Yorker Najee began his career playing clarinet and later saxophone and flute in his hometown Jamaica, Queens New York.While in high school Najee began studying under the direction of Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, and Billy Taylor at Jazzmobile in Harlem.Najee also studied flute with Harold Jones at the Manhattan School of Music.Times Square West
