都市风情 萨克斯 najee纳吉 rising sun日出 2007


从80年代开始就走红于美国全境的黑人音乐家najee应该是这些改革先锋的一员. 能够非常出色的完成sax, 长笛, 键盘甚至贝司演奏的najee一开始可能并没有意识到自己生产出的音乐后来被人称作为smooth urban jazz, 而在当时还誓于kenny g一争高下的他更喜欢说自己玩的是instumental pop, 或者是instumental r&b, 就是这样的一个市场定位也成就了najee的一些白金唱片的销量.而多次和融合爵士音乐家的合作以及自己音乐走向的本质决定了najee不可能成为黑色的kenny g, 而到90年代smooth jazz被定义出来以后, najee也就随之被重新定义, 而在他音乐中深厚的r&b底蕴好象也预示了他可能会在smooth jazz领域大展宏图

najee行云流水般的吹奏技巧更是呢喃动人，其他合奏的乐手，不论是吉他、键盘、贝斯...都是近乎完美的表现，当这些优美乐章扬起，脑海中自然会勾勒出许许多多的美好画面，整个人顿时都松了下来，当然，品质极佳的录音工程也是让这些的好更上一层楼的原因。 rising sun真是smooth jazz中的品！

over twenty years since his debut najee's theme set the pace for the explosion of urban vibes in the genre that evolved into smooth jazz, the versatile new york based saxman and flutist was still innovating in the mid-2000s. after hanging and touring with prince during the early part of the decade, his signing with contemporary jazz and world music mecca heads up--and releasing 2005's my point of view--brought the najee vibe to a whole new generation of jazz and old school soul fans. rising sun was an even more exciting and diverse date, with najee drawing from a wide range of pop, world and jazz influences to complement trademark groove ballads ("can't wait another minute") and lively light funk gems like "come what may" and the seriously jumpin' old school jam "out of a dream." both of these sizzling horn textured tracks were co-penned by the saxman with pieces of a dream keyboardist james lloyd, who also produced tracks on my point of view. najee creates an appealing hybrid of pop, samba and retro soul keyboard elements on the percussive "brazilian affair," which follows the opening track, a crunchy grooving, organic take on john mayer's infectious "clarity", a cut truly reflective of najee's love for this era's singer-songwriter vibe.

though the flute had unfortunately, fallen out of favor on smooth jazz radio by the current decade, it's always been a part of najee's deeper artistry; the wistful "child at heart" and the seductive, samba-tinged title track are perfect showcases for this. speaking of which, a chance encounter at an nyc woodwind store with the legendary james moody led to one of rising sun's most compelling tracks, a highly lyrical, improvisation-rich sax-driven reading of "moody's mood for love." straight ahead jazz critics have found it easy to dismiss najee as a groove happy lightweight over the years, but tracks like this--and so much of the powerful playing on this disc--proved once and for all that he's a serious jazz player. who just happens to like commercial r&b and play it like nobody's business.

product description
----------------
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.
