Incredible! Of course, Ackerman and Hedges, along with Winston, are the holy trinity of Windham Hill. That's so wonderful that you've seen Hedges live!
It's strange that Discogs lists 17 pages of WH releases when their real core material was issued during a brief window of time between '76 and '84 (bookended respectively by
The Search For The Turtle's Navel and by
Aerial Boundaries). I likely have all of the essential titles on vinyl and complete digital discographies of the key contributors we've named, but the
A Quiet Revolution, 30 Years of Windham Hill box set provides a sufficiently encapsulated survey of the label's best works.
Really looking forward to tonight's performance. A shame I'll be attending alone, but it will be a treat just the same.
