Jerome Najee Rasheed (born in New York City, New York on November 4, 1957), known professionally as Najee, is an American jazz and smooth jazz saxophonist and flautist.
Najee was born in the Greenwich Village section of New York City and lived throughout his teenage years in Jamaica Queens, New York. His father died when he was four years old, and Najee was raised by his mother Mary Richards, who was an important figure and supporter throughout his life and musical career.
Najee's musical pursuits began in grade school at age eight, where he learned how to play the clarinet. He was influenced at this age by listening to his mother's recordings of Miles Davis and other legendary American jazz artists. This was a pivotal moment in his life where he made the decision to become a professional jazz musician. In high school, Najee began to study jazz as a student at the Jazzmobile program (co-founded by Dr. Billy Taylor) where he honed his skills on tenor saxophone and flute under the direction of Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster and Ernie Wilkins. At age 16, Najee studied flute at the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division, where he took lessons with Harold Jones, flautist from the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
Enjoy it!

I can recall those warm summer days
No decisions, child's play
Did they slip away?
Gone forever, gone forever
Lost to yesterday
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
As I walk down, streets full of amber leaves
I see nothing's really changed at all
We're just older now
Still together, still together
After all these years
And from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
Still together, after all these years
And from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
But from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
But from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
You've been true until the end of time
My old friend
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
