Listening to a jazz musician for the first time, what I hope for is a personal, searching sound, the thrust and surprise of the player's self-discovery and, of course, the rhythm that quickens my pulse. I also look for something else. As Lester Young once told me, in jazz "you have to tell a story"—of where you've been, who you are right now and what you're still looking for.Myron Walden, age 37, is simultaneously the most insistently personal and instantly accessible musician of his generation. Within his own compositions he tells stories—on the tenor, alto and soprano saxophones. He fits no category because, as he continuously demonstrates, "My passion is too expansive to be limited to one style."His current releases are all on his own Demi Sound label. They range from the often exultantly swinging, ordered passions of the discs "Momentum" and "Momentum Live," to "To Feel" and "What We Share," some of the most deeply affecting jazz ballads I've ever heard.
