Sad news. George Winston died earlier this month. ‘Winter into Spring’ was the first CD I ever bought back in the early 80s.

George Otis Winston (February 11, 1949 – June 4, 2023) was an American pianist who was an established contemporary instrumental music performer.

This track from ‘Summer’ is one of my favourites. It is always played at Midsummer. The photograph of a field of Sunflowers is full of golden light.

Best known for his solo piano recordings, Winston released his first album in 1972, and came to prominence with his 1980 album Autumn, which was followed in 1982 by Winter into Spring and December, all three became platinum-selling albums, with December becoming a triple-platinum album. A total of 16 solo albums were released, accumulating over 15 million records sold, with the 1994 album Forest earning Winston a Grammy award for Best New Age Album. Winston received four other Grammy nominations, including one for Best Children's Music Album, performed with actress Meryl Streep, and another for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his interpretation of works by the rock band the Doors.

If you are thinking that every performance of "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" sounds very different at one point?

You're right. Here's George Winston's version in 2020. I recommend his LINUS AND LUCY CD, if you like Vince Guaraldi's music & George's interpretation of it. #Jazz #GeorgeWinston #VinceGuaraldi #FolkJazz

The people who knew him, loved him. If you'd never heard of Grammy Award winner George Winston before he passed, perhaps take some time to listen to some of his ground breaking work. Honestly, it's good for the soul. Here are a few links to get you started, some youtube. some Spotify.

This playlist is a great introduction to his work.
