Najee's Theme is the debut album by American jazz saxophonist and flautist, Najee. This album earned Najee a Grammy Award Nomination for Best R&B Instrumental Performance in 1988.[2][3]
Peggy Oliver of The Urban Music Scene writes, "It is hard to fathom that thirty years have passed since the single “Najee’s Theme” and the supporting album blazed the R&B and jazz charts, which for a debut recording was a remarkable accomplishment in itself." She gave the album 4½ out of five stars.[1]
The New Pittsburgh Courier did a piece on Najee and remarked about the album, "Najee became a top name in instrumental and jazz music circles after releasing, “Najee’s Theme” in 1986."[4]
