Biography

Alto saxophonist/composer Myron Walden was born on October 18, 1973 in Miami, FL, relocating to Harlem at the age of 12. Subsequent exposure to Charlie Parker inspired the teen to pick up the alto, and he went on to study at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Harlem School of the Arts, additionally honing his craft under the tutelage of Yusef Lateef, Donald Byrd and others. In 1993 Walden won top honors at the prestigious Charlie Parker competition at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, going on to perform alongside the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Nat Adderley and Lou Donaldson before making his debut as a leader with 1996's Hypnosis. Like a Flower Seeking the Sun followed in 1999.
