One of the
best-selling instrumentalists of the late '80s to
mid-'90s, Najee has been a consistent favorite in the
quiet storm and so-called "smooth jazz"
markets. Often compared to Kenny G, George Howard, and
Dave Koz, the New Yorker has been greatly influenced by
Grover Washington Jr. -- although he hasn't been nearly
as adventurous. Heavily produced and quite formulaic,
Najee's albums have tended to avoid improvisation and
strive for commercial radio airplay above all else.
