Will Ackerman - Windham Hill Records Founder and GRAMMY Award winning producer
RETURNING was an opportunity to capture my career as I hope it will be remembered.
These are new recordings of my favorite pieces spanning 35 years of music writing.
Listening now to the early versions of these pieces, I hear a kid who was scared to death in the studio and just trying to get through the session without major blunders. Over years of performing these pieces they've evolved nuance that was invisible to me then.
The recording technology of the mid 1970s when most of these pieces were originally recorded was relatively primitive and the new recordings reveal a richness that was only hinted at before. Even the guitars I play today are from another world of sonic range and possibility. I honestly had to make this record for myself‚ the Grammy award only proved to me that it had worked for others as well.
