Najee isn't as good as Grover Washington, Jr., but he isn't as bad as Kenny G. His R&B flavored urban jazz music isn't adventurous but, if nothing else, he's consistent. What's surprising: I have 6 Najee CDs in the collection. What isn't surprising: I bought all of them used. Harmless.
Album chart peaks:
- US Billboard 200: #163
- Billboard R&B: #23
- CashBox Jazz: #1
- Billboard Contemporary Jazz: #2
Tracks: The best tracks here are Now That I've Found You (the only song from this CD to make it to 1998's The Best Of Najee), Joy, Heart Like Mine, and Saleemah's Dream. You're better off skipping the tracks Laid Back, I Didn't Know, and (G) Street.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None.
