Happy St. Patrick's Day Weekend!

I've decided that I would continue making blog posts either before or by April or during the summer, when I have more time. I've been having "releasing" problems and have been struggling with school work. Once things get organized, I will be able to update my posts and get back on track.

So before I return to posting regular material on this blog, I thought it would be nice to share something special for St. Patrick's Day that is Windham Hill related.

Today I will be reviewing the CD, "Windham Hill Classics: Celtic Legacy".




Basically this is a compilation of celtic new age music composed by Windham Hill artists.


Here are the reviews from Amazon.com:

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.

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.

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&#
