This collection offers up several of Walden's contemporary TV successes (the powerful, guitar- and wordless-aria-driven elegance of \"Once and Again\"; the haunting \"Felicity's Theme\"; an acoustic guitar revamp of \"Thirtysomething\"; and the stately theme from his Emmy-winning work on The West Wing) alongside other nonsoundtrack compositions that frequently evoke his Louisiana and Texas roots with graceful resolve. Assisted by a strong roster of notable sidemen (including guitarist Dean Parks, pianist Randy Kerber, bassist Neil Stubenhaus, and percussionist Paulinho da Costa), Walden's music gratifyingly stretches the boundaries of the Windham Hill \"mold,\" especially on the evocative solo guitar and orchestra piece \"Sketches of Topanga\" and the percussive, energetic ambitions of \"New York\/Melting Pot.\" With his elegiac acoustic guitar leading the way, Walden's music here mixes woodwinds, orchestra, string quartets, and electric slide guitar into a subtle musical stew that expands on his screen work in ways both logical and rewarding. --Jerry McCulley\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00004DTOE\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00004DTOE.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:W.G.
