Myron Walden - In This World: To Feel '2010

Tracks list

More thought goes into album covers than some listeners might want to give
artists credit for. These are not impromptu photos snapped with smartphones at a
bar. The cover for In This World: To Feel features saxophonist Myron Walden
garbed and posed, it seems, to evoke serenity. Serenity is a go-to word --
albeit a bit overused -- to describe this album, the first of a two-part release
on Waldens Demi Sound Records (In This World: What We Share is the second
release). The normally robust drummers Kendrick Scott (frequent collaborator)
and Brian Blade (Walden leader for years) are reserved throughout the album,
drumming in purposed undertones. Meanwhile, David Bryant (Fender Rhodes) and
Mike Moreno (guitar) lend the bulk of the albums ambience. On both tenor and
soprano, Waldens sax is lyrical and reflective. Its a departure from Waldens
previously aggressive tunes, but a welcome addition to his quickly ballooning
catalog.
