Saxophonist/Flautist Najee Announces New Tour Dates for 2026

Najee continues his busy 2026 Tour in U.S. destinations and special dates in London, England

Worldwide saxophonist/flautist Najee returns to the road in 2026 after a brief break that has taken him to many U.S. cities from the City Winery series to renowned jazz club Yoshi’s in Oakland. To launch the 2nd half, Najee will perform at more U.S. sites bringing a beautiful bouquet of R&B/soul, world and pop melodies that have earned him 2 NAACP and 2 Soul Train Awards in an over 4-decade career. Then his 2 concerts in September at one of London’s popular jazz and soul venues, Soul Mama, features The Under the Moon over the Sky Tour that unveils exquisite and evolving Brazilian flavors alongside the delicacy of smooth jazz melodies, co-produced by Robert Hebert (Bossa Nova Noites) from Najee’s latest release in 2025.

On Najee’s 2026 Tour extravaganza, he will visit some prolific venues and events such as the Winter Park Jazz Festival in July, the Bethesda, MD Blues & Supper Club in August, Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival in October and Hampton, VA’s Jazz Legacy in November.
