Audio Mixer: Harn Soper. Recording information: Music Annex, Menlo Park, CA (01/1979). Photographer: Richard Pinkerton. 1979's CHILDHOOD AND MEMORY is William Ackerman's third and last album of solo guitar pieces. Beginning with his next release, 1981's PASSION, other instruments would enter Ackerman's musical world, and this more open outlook is presaged here on a pair of tracks where flautist Dave Ross colors Ackerman's typically quiet, meditative tunes. The album title refers to Ackerman's own spotty memory of his childhood in post-World War II Germany; he does not even know exactly when his own birthday is. The somber, almost melancholy tone of this record can be deeply affecting if heard in the proper setting, but as is usually the case with Windham Hill albums, it also sounds perfectly agreeable listened to inattentively as background. Unlike most solo instrumental guitar releases, however, there's much more to CHILDHOOD AND MEMORY for those who explore deeper.
