The Page Series website refers to Winston’s music as a “melodic rural folk piano style.” His technique is mellow, calming and emotional. Winston’s music is inspired by the changing seasons and nature’s beauty, according to the website.
Winston will be playing selections from his latest solo piano CD, Gulf Coast Blues and Impressions-A Hurricane Relief Benefit. It includes compositions from Winston and selections from three well-known New Orleans, La., pianists.
According to George Winston’s website, the CD was created because of Winston’s desire to help victims from the Gulf Coast region. All of the proceeds will go toward the reconstructing efforts in the Gulf Coast area.
“This is perhaps the most engaging Winston album ever, and the single one anyone who’s ever been interested in him should own,” Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek said on Winston’s website.
Winston will also play pieces from his most popular CD, December.
