CD ReviewsHe's Back The CD Jazz Man of STL | Saint Louis, MO United States | 10/09/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Man, it has been a while since Najee did anything and I am glad he is back. No he is not John Coltrane but he is not Kenny G either. With that being said, Embrace is just like I thought it would be: some bouncy funky tunes like Mali's Bounce, Sunshine Sometimes Rain and Vibin' with Ayers, some smooth jams like Eye 2 Eye and La Smooth (a tribute to the late great Grover Washington Jr.), and a lil Latin flavor - Movimientos with Sheila E's dad, Pete Escovedo, which also demonstrates his versatility playing the flute. I give it four stars for he still shows that he has it and when you think about it, the other smooth jazz stars such as Boney James, Jimmy Sommers, and Dave Koz owe Najee a great deal of honor and respect for it was Naj who first started using R&B singers to sing on smooth jazz records (showing my age) when it was still being called fusion back in the 80's. Right on Najee, you still sound good." He is back Kboogie | Denver, Colorado | 11/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Man, this cd is good, trust me.Najee is back, track five is great superb.It's about time, I thought he stopped recording.Hope to check him out on the road!" Embrace Falls Short Erick M. Smithwick | Greenville, NC United States | 11/23/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Najee is one of the most talented jazz musicians I know of and remains my top favorite. I remember falling in love with "Najee's Theme" back in college. His style and bouncy rhythms have kept me mesmerized for many years. His latest project, Embrace, falls short of the Najee projects that he has put together in the past. I do not think his choice of featured vocal artists punctuate the awesome jazz sound that he is capable of producing, or has produced in the past. This CD sounds more like a sophomore CD rather than the masterful art he knows he can produce. I wish he had included more featured vocal artists in this CD. Still the more I listen to the CD the more I like it. It IS CERTAINLY WORTH PURCHASING!!!"
