Favorite moment: While the band was playing on stage, suddenly a spot light shone into the crowd and there was Najee, playing and coming down the steps slowly. @
Setlist: Was more of his latest music and obviously was purposeful that it was for some old and more new listeners. None of the older, slower “Tokyo Blue” type music. @
Opening act(s): Given the fact that in the past Pieces of a Dream has always been the headliner, it was quite different to have them as the opening act. After the concert, I would of rather had Pieces of a Dream be the headliner and Najee be the opening act. @
Only because it is Najee, I would recommend his concerts. However, even as amped up as you may get for the overall event itself, Najee really didn't play that much during his own concert. A woman sitting next to me actually pointed it out during the first 15 minutes of the concert. As an observation, I began to watch a little more intently, all the while, still enjoying the concert. Afterward, I did notice it as she had called it. The concert went on, but between the solos of the band members, the introduction of a "rapper/jazz" piece and his coming on several minutes into the show, his time of actual playing was limited. The audience does get "jazzed" up by his coming down the steps to start off, and the fact that he doesn't hurry to the stage gave the show some nice entertainer/audience intimacy. Overall a B+.
