Grammy Award winning pianist George Winston has passed at 73. A pioneer in New Age music, his style also encompassed other styles including classical. A mainstay for the Windham Hill label, his trio of albums, Autumn, Winter Into Spring, and his smash hit, December, a holiday favorite, would cement his reputation. He sold over 15 million albums and later worked with Meryl Streep who narrated The Velveteen Rabbit. I saw Winston decades ago at the Kennedy Center and he also included a bit of Charlie Brown music.
