George Winston Woods Autumn

George Winstons Autumn has served as an emotional backdrop to the change of season. A beautiful recording for solo piano, Autumn finds Winston developing simple melodic motifs with studied lefthand underpinning, on hypnotic pieces like Woods, , which moves from a brisk rhythmic figure to rubato minorkey runs. Leaving pauses and breaths in all the right places, Winston suggests the play of color and light, the comfortable melancholy, and the encroaching slowdown that characterizes the fall season. Full of memorable themes and moods, Autumn is a timeless album, and serves as a good introduction for someone who has not heard George Winston. Listen to the full album here:
