Welcome to Windham Hill Memories!


This is the fan site dedicated to the new age music under the Windham Hill record label. It may include smooth jazz related stuff too. I will be posting the following items on this blog to keep you interested:

1. LP's/CD's.
2. Photos/Images.
3. Music sheets/Information.
4. Videos from YouTube, Veoh, and other video sites.

The order of posts will be followed under the list of artists and associated record labels. Be sure to check

that out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windham_Hill_Records

Some will be links, others will be the actual content.

On the holidays, I will be posting the Christmas samplers so be sure to check that out. The reason I decided to make the blog now is because there aren't many blog sites related to this record label (except for the one about Will Ackerman, the founder and main musician of Windham Hill Records, wearing a POP hat) and I felt that it's time to share my love for the former subsidiary record label. Just because new material isn't made for it anymore, doesn't mean we can't relive the nostalgic moments of what was produced during the 70s, 80s and 90s. One more thing: every now and then I will be making fan-made compilations of music, not only under/about the Windham Hill Record label but K-Tel and KPM stuff as well. Some may even be original compositions by me. So stop by my blog. All items are free and for educational and project purposes only. You won't be disappointed. New uploads every week!

Live at Montreux (1984)

For their second LP, Darol Anger invited Mike Marshall, Todd Philips and Andy Narell to join he and Higbie, as mention two weeks ago, and they soon became the Darol Anger and Barbara Higbie Quintet, later changing it to Montreux. Balakrishnan left the band to study composition and Anger took his position in playing the violin (full time). The band, minus Balakrishnan, performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1984,  and their performances were recorded there for the release of their second album. Here is the album cover.

George Winston - December 1982 (Christmas 2014 Post)

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! For this year's post, it will be a late one due to the fact that the holidays came by too quickly for me to prepare myself. Tonight I will be reviewing George Winston's 1982 album, December . To learn more about George Winston, click the link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Winston Now to begin, December is George Winston's fourth solo piano album, released in 1982 as a holiday album, follow up to the album Autumn , and as a tribute to the winter season. In 2001, a 20th Anniversary Edition of the album was released, including two bonus tracks not included on the original release. As of last year (2013), the album was again reissued by Valley Entertainment with Dancing Cat Records, since the original Windham Hill label is now defunct. This most recent reissue has been packaged in a Digipak and features a revised cover art, making the image wider and blending the text onto the art cover rather than above it. For comparison&#

Shutting down this site...APRIL FOOLS! But seriously, I really haven't been very active with this blog lately. However I have been coming up with ideas on how to re-organize the blog as well as going album shopping online and at thrift stores. I will continue to keep you updated on my official return.
