Free Music Notes for Rising Sun
Free Music Review: Suprisingly good
Hit: 3 Stars
I have been kinda of hesitant about Najee's music it was kind of becoming mundane to the point of sappy! And as I started to listen to this CD I played it in my car, a mistake at first cause the first couple of cuts almost put me to sleep! Then it started to get nice and funky! Oh yeah you can ride to this and then I got hit with a so-so rendition of Moody's Blues, after grooving then taking me back to yawns ville it picked me back up to take me home. If it did not start off so slow and drag with the MB song I probably would have went for 4 stars.
Rising Sun Poster
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. Always the innovator, Najee blends various shades of straightahead 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.'Contributing to this fresh perspective is a coterie of talented songwriters and session players. Producer Chris Davis, who first teamed up with Najee on his previous Heads Up release, returns to the production helm on Rising Sun, and offers numerous songwriting credits as well. Najee also co-authors two tracks with labelmate and Pieces of a Dream keyboardist and songwriter extraordinaire James Lloyd. In addition, the saxophonist borrows a couple songs from the old school as well as the new one from veteran jazz flutist James Moody and another from reigning indie rock songwriter/guitarist John Mayer.Jazz Music CDs
