A new documentary is now being made that tells the remarkable story of how the founder of Windham Hill (Will Ackerman) created a record label which started out as a gentle approach to music by concentrating on solo acoustic guitar instrumentals in response to the hard rock and disco music scene of the early 1980s.

We have entered the FINAL WEEK of our Kickstarter campaign for A QUIET REVOLUTION: The Story of Windham Hill Records.

In this last week of the Kickstarter campaign, please consider spreading the word to friends and family one final time, as well as to others you know who have a like-minded appreciation of Windham Hill Records, its amazing artists, the timeless music, its place in history, and how the music still makes us feel.

Here are the broad objectives for this film, as well as specific impact-based initiatives:

• We expect to submit the film to Film Festivals, with an eye toward a limited Theatrical Release, followed by a Digital Streaming Release, and then a national television broadcast.
Our goal is to present and share the film with the widest appropriate general audience.

• We also intend to secure Screenings at appropriate music venues and festivals, as well as schools - including K-12, colleges and universities. Where possible, one or more of our team will present these screenings and conduct a post-screening Q and A. Our goal here is to show the film in all the places where its music and messaging can do the most good.

Funds will still be needed for completion of the final edit, music and other archival licensing, and the important, aforementioned educational outreach.

Thank you again for the support!

Windham Hill Documentary Update
It's nice to see all the Windham Hill artists getting personally involved in helping the documentary campaign on Kickstarter with personal rewards.

William Ackerman added a "Will's Grab Bag" - of music, memorabilia, and mementos - some incredibly rare items here.

We've hit the minimum - I had a chance to ask the filmmaker Tal Skloot what his "true" target is, and he said he'd like to surpass $90K. It's already over 80% there, with a couple weeks to go, so let's bring that home.

Great news - newly released music from the late George Winston
https://lnk.to/winston-dusk
“Eastern Montana”, the first in a series of posthumous releases from acclaimed solo pianist George Winston, was inspired by the surroundings of his childhood growing up in Miles City and Billings during the 1950s. Winston described Montana with its beautiful topography and wonderful people as “the greatest feeling of love and inspiration I have ever had.” Winston’s legacy as one of the foremost instrumental composers of our time perseveres with his latest studio album "Eastern Montana" sure to become a Winston classic.

Heartbreaking news regarding George Winston.

We are deeply saddened to share the news that George Winston has passed on after a 10-year battle with cancer. George quietly and painlessly left this world while asleep on Sunday, June 4, 2023. George courageously managed serious cancers, including having a successful bone marrow transplant for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in 2013 at City of Hope, in Duarte, California, that gratefully extended his life by 10 years. Throughout his cancer treatments, George continued to write and record new music, and he stayed true to his greatest passion: performing for live audiences while raising funds for Feeding America to help fight the national hunger crisis along with donating proceeds from each of his concerts to local food banks. Across an illustrious career spanning more than 50 years, George’s music first became known and loved by his fans with the release of his two most iconic albums, Autumn (1980) and December (1982). George's recordings evolved with the times while garnering a GRAMMY Award for Forest (plus five GRAMMY nominations) and selling over 15 million albums. George touched the hearts of generations with his acclaimed solo acoustic piano compositions. From his early days in Montana, Mississippi and Florida, to his later life living in the San Francisco Bay Area and touring to cities worldwide, America’s beautiful landscapes and natural seasons shaped his singular instrumental folk piano. With 16 solo piano albums to his name, George recorded brilliant piano music, which includes tribute recordings for Vince Guaraldi, The Doors, a Hurricane Katrina relief benefit, Gulf Coast and Louisiana Wetlands benefits, September 11 benefit, a cancer research benefit for City of Hope, the Peanuts episode “This Is America Charlie Brown: The Birth Of The Constitution,” among others. George’s legacy includes his beloved catalog as well as an archive of his own acoustic guitar and harmonica recordings, and albums by an array of Hawaiian slack key artists on his own record label, Dancing Cat Records. George is pre-deceased by his parents, George and Mary Winston, and is survived by his sister, niece and nephew.

The family of George Winston will hold a private memorial service. For donations in memory of George Winston, please visit:
