CD 101.9 Concert In Red
February 14, 2008 at Beacon Theatre
Featuring Al Jarreau & Najee
Please be advised that while the radio station CD 101.9 is no longer broadcasting Smooth Jazz music, the music lives on. The CD 101.9 Valentines Concert starring Al Jarreau with special guest Najee will proceed as scheduled on February 14, 2008 at the Beacon Theatre.
Al Jarreau is the only vocalist in history to net Grammy® Awards in three different categories (jazz, pop, and R&B, respectively). With 2006's Givin' It Up, recorded with George Benson, he was nominated for three Grammy® Awards - each one for a different song.
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. Debuting in 1987 with Najee's Theme, Najee was an immediate hit in the new adult contemporary (NAC) market.
