Virtual George Winston Concert |
|
Sunday, March 21
7:00 pm
Organization: Mitchell Gallery at St. John’s College
George Winston was born in Michigan and spent much of his childhood in Montana, as well as Mississippi and Florida. He is best known for his solo piano recordings, of which he has sold more than 15 million albums. Winston plays in a variety of styles: a melodic approach he calls “rural folk piano;” stride piano, a style of jazz developed in the 1920s as an offshoot of ragtime developed by Thomas “Fats” Waller and Teddy Wilson; and his primary interest, New Orleans R&B piano, influenced by James Booker, Professor Longhair, and Henry Butler. He has also paid tribute to famous composer Vince Guaraldi, the creator of the music of the early Peanuts cartoons, and he later released an homage to the Doors with his album Night Divides the Day: The Music of the Doors. All of his albums have received overwhelming critical acclaim, and Winston has received many awards, including a Grammy Award for Forest.
