SUMMARY:George Winston 2018
DESCRIPTION:George Winston grew up mainly in Montana\, and also spent his later formative years in Mississippi and Florida. During this time\, his favorite music was instrumental rock and instrumental R&B\, including Floyd Cramer\, the Ventures\, Booker T & The MG’s\, Jimmy Smith\, and many more. \nInspired by R&B\, jazz\, Blues and rock (especially the Doors)\, George began playing organ in 1967. In 1971 he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recording from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas “Fats” Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to working on stride piano\, he also at this time came up with his own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano\, called folk piano. In 1972\, he recorded his first album\, BALLADS AND BLUES 1972\, for the late guitarist John Fahey’s Takoma label \nGeorge is presently concentrating mainly on live performances\, and most of the time he is touring playing solo piano concerts (the Summer Show or the Winter Show)\, solo guitar concerts\, solo harmonica concerts\, and solo piano dances (with R&B and slow dance songs). \nHe is currently most inspired by the great New Orleans R&B pianists Henry Butler\, James Booker\, Professor Longhair\, Dr. John\, and Jon Cleary; and he is also working on interpreting pieces on solo piano by his favorite composers\, including Vince Guaraldi\, Professor Longhair\, and the Doors\, as well as Dr. John\, Allen Toussaint\, Ralph Towner\, Sam Cooke\, Randy Newman\, Al Kooper\, Jimmy Wisner\, Arthur Lee\, Frank Zappa\, Rahsaan Roland Kirk\, Wes Montgomery\, John Coltrane\, Cal Tjader\, John Hartford\, Oliver Schroer\, Taj Mahal\, Philip Aaberg\, Henry Butler\, James Booker\, Jon Cleary\, and others\, to play at concerts\, and at his solo piano dances. \n
