Bill Walker’s first recording of his own musical compositions performed with Walker on the piano…set a very high standard. Walker is a fine pianist, able to coax both brilliance of execution as well as warmth of expression from the keyboard. His classical training serves him well, even though there are no traditionally classical works on this substantive CD to prove the point. His technique is solid.
…Comparisons always rear their heads when a newcomer releases his first work and Yanni and John Tesh are the first to come to mind. But Walker goes beyond these referenced colleagues because of his passion for classical music. The individual works are well conceived and vary enough to be considered individually, instead of just a wash of sound people buy as a mental purgative.
The man has talent and I think we can expect his name to become prominent in the music world of classically inspired mood music. Grady Harp, May 05
