JazzTrax Guest

Lions and Tigers and Oh My... Najee

 

His name is Jerome Najee Rasheed. Okay, we'll just stick with 'Najee' who joins us in the JazzTrax Studio this week. Because next week he releases his newest, 'Mind Over Matter.' Wait till you hear the two HOT songs he did with Jeff Lorber and one of Anita Baker (and Will Downing's) song writers Gary Taylor on a tastey 'Moon Over Carolina' vocal. And stories of the wild Florida critters hanging outside his Orlando home studio... like Wild Boar, Wild Turkeys, Peacocks (not NBC's because ABC owns Disney or the other way around), even Alligators and Wild Bears.

2002 Fourplay 'Heartfelt'

 

Art has us already listening to Peter White's forthcoming September release and hold your hats... a new George Benson that's comin' next week too. August Brand New from Jessy J & Rick Braun... and remember the Fourplay CD 'Heartfelt.' It was not only the JazzTrax 2002 Album of the Year, but had "Tally Ho," the JazzTrax 2002 Song of the Year. That's this week's JazzTrax Archives Album. Too much to risk missing. Listen right now On-Line.
