Candy Johnson, Daily Press & Argus, November 2001
Wyatt Gregory knows the hard work, dedication and his love of music is driving him straight toward success.
About the Artist
William Wyatt started his solo career in 1996, after buying his first guitar with high school graduation money. Wyatt went on to play in front of audiences right away, through open mic's and gigging solo at bars and clubs in Kalamazoo, MI. In 1999 Wyatt recorded his first album "Go Anywhere" an acoustic compilation of his first years as a singer/songwriter. Wyatt then moved to Arizona where he continued to play in bars and at local events. He then decided to try his luck in Nashville Tennessee. Though it wasn't what he was looking for, it was in Tennessee that Wyatt created his record label, Encompass Records. Leaving Nashville Wyatt returned to his home in Michigan and decided that bringing together some great talent to form a band was exactly what he wanted to do. Wyatt recruited Jimmy Mueller, a talented drummer/percussionist in the fall of 2000. The two started playing together and headed to the studio in 2001 to record "My Point of View" under Wyatt's own record label, Encompass Records. About a year later they went back to record the self titled "William Wyatt" (black album).
In July of 2002 Wyatt met Derrick James a bass player from East Lansing, Michigan and determined that this amazing guitar player was exactly what the now forming band needed. Not long after, Dillan Brantley "Brant" a saxophone/piano player from East Lansing hopped in with the "power trio" for a jam session in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It was unanimous that this sax-playing pianist was the mortar that would seal the bands edges.
With all of this musical talent in place The William Wyatt Band is now preparing to get back to the studio and record yet another album.

I've Fallen In Love Again with You--NAJEE!.......2006-07-25
I haven't heard a CD from Najee in a long time and was given this one for a birthday present. My goodness! I L-O-V-E it! There is not one song on this CD that I don't love. Buying this CD will not disappoint you unless you just don't like great music. I can not wait to see what he has in store for us in the near future.
Truly Exceptional!.......2006-04-10
This CD is truly one of his best! "Charm","How Lovely You Are", and my favorite-"Miyuki" are some of the BEST songs. You will NOT be disappointed with this CD.
The Fastest Service.......2006-03-15
I ordered the product not knowing anything about this website or how secure it was. I was amazed! The turnaround was much more than I expected and the product was not at all damaged. Since then I have ordered about 5 or 6 more CD's and am also amazed at how fast the turnaround is. I would recommend this website to anyone!
Buy It Now :-).......2006-02-22
Usually I lisen to all the tracks on a CD to decide which one's I want to download. As I listened to this CD my list of tracks that I wanted grew to include all of them, so I bought the CD. You will be very pleased with this one. He is back and has done it again. Brilliant
James
Excellent! At His Best!.......2005-12-04
This is Najee at his best. I'm glad he's back and better than ever.

In this 1963 recording session, pianist Herbie Hancock had a chance to work with a septet that could highlight his burgeoning skills as an arranger and composer. With Hancock's inventive sense of voicings already defined, it's a happy mix of inspired charts and spirited blowing that fuses the hard bop of trumpeter Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley with the bluesy approach of guitarist Grant Green and Hancock's own fluent soloing and incisive comping. Also notable is the explosive young drummer Tony Williams, who was already showing the distinctive fire that would soon ignite Miles Davis's band. The track "Blind Man, Blind Man" is a funky romp that clearly builds on Hancock's remarkable success with the earlier "Watermelon Man" and is a harbinger of the pop success he'd later enjoy with the Headhunters. --Stuart Broomer
Customer Reviews:
Herbie has his way (but not his piano).......2006-06-12
Simply put, "Blind Man, Blind Man" is an attempt to come up with another "Watermelon Man" and scarcely rates one listen, so the addition of the alternate take is hardly a bonus (though Mobley deserves some credit for coming up with a few things to say on a single Bb7 chord). The other tracks are highly worthy Hancock originals, full of unusual melody making and unexpected harmonies. "Tribute to Someone" contains a risk-taking yet complete and satisfying solo by Mobley, who also takes chances on "And What If I Don't," faltering a bit this time but still communicative.
"King Cobra" and "The Pleasure Is Mine" are showcases for Hancock's composing and arranging skills, his close harmonizations of the three horns producing some of the richest textures I've ever heard by him. Here Byrd, Mobley, and Moncur form a tight and responsive choir to the antiphonal statements of piano and guitar.
Recording engineer Van Gelder has always had a talent for making his horns sound bigger than life as well as for bringing out all of the sizzle and ring in a drummer's ride cymbal. But the sound of his pianos is always muffled and "bottled up," at best an acquired taste. On this recording, the trademark Van Gelder piano sound is more in evidence than ever. Frankly, I would like to be able to hear Herbie's own idea of how a piano should sound.
Herbie's Best.......2000-07-17
In my opinion, this is Herbie Hancock's best bluenote album. Blind Man, Blind Man is a rewrite of Watermellon Man, but the addition of guitar (Grant Green) and trombone (Grachan Moncur III) give the arrangement a more interesting edge. The next two songs, A Tribute To Someone and King Cobra are the best that Herbie ever wrote. Hank Mobley and Donald Byrd play beautiful on them. Mobley in particular, never sounded so pretty before or after as he does here. And Tony Williams, eighteen on this recording, plays with the maturity and restraint of someone 3 times his age.
A Tribute To Someone and King Cobra, to me, are better than anything Herbie Hancock ever recorded, solo or otherwise. That alone to me makes this record even more essential than Maiden Voyage or Emperyan Isles. The Pleasure is Mind is no Dolphin Dance and And What If I Don't is no Cantaloupe Island, but don't let that stop you from buying this. And don't let reviewers who dream of hearing Maiden Voyage Part II lead you to believe that My Point Of View is in any way inferior to anything Herbie ever recorded for bluenote. And as I mentioned before, if you are a fan of Hank Mobley (as I am) or Donald Byrd, both of them are in prime form. Mobley is at his best. Get the album.
Enjoyable, but not Essential.......2000-07-14
Some nice, bluesy/funky writing, and good playing all around, but nothing spectacular. Despite the large group, the arrangements never get too busy. If you like Hancock, you'll like this CD, but it won't knock you off your feet like MAIDEN VOYAGE does.
Decent But Unexceptional Session.......2000-03-29
"Blind Man, Blind Man" is a nice bluesy composition, and "King Cobra" is a decent bop tune. The album as a whole is less impressive than his first was, and not as impressive as the ones that followed, though there's nothing wrong with it per se.

Buen intento.......2007-03-08
Najee anota con este CD un Point of View publicado de manera casi simultánea al "Point" de su mentor Herbie Hancock, obviamente sin el genio de éste, pero demostrando un gran oficio para el smooth jazz. Diez canciones con una aceptable ejecución de todos los instrumentos, aunque cayendo inminentemente en los terrenos de lo puramente comercial. Con buen comienzo, partes cantadas y coros lejanos a las estupendas voces de sus predecesores souleros de los setenta, el saxo por momentos suena a Kenny G, pero se mantiene en una línea de calidad constante. Curiosamente por haber sido la única escrita por el propio Najee, la más interesante en el aspecto interpretativo, es la canción con la que se cierra este compacto sin pretensiones y débil propuesta musical en estos tiempos turbulentos, en que el quehacer artístico debería ser para mi gusto, algo más agresivo (en cuanto al tratamiento musical y sonoro, no me malinterpreten) y menos comercial. Grabación en formato multicanal muy agradable y natural.
