Comment:

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then one of George Winston’s piano portraits is probably equal to an entire novel, or more likely a film, since his sound is so cinematic. For instance, the Aaron Copland-gets-dust-on-his-boots feel of “Billy In the Low Land” evokes the greatest Western epic you’ve never seen. “The Breaks” was recorded for a post-Katrina New Orleans benefit, and its blend of Big Easy R&B bounce and unbridled urgency captures the Crescent City’s moment of turmoil like little else could. And when Winston dips into the Doors catalog once more for “Spanish Caravan,” it’s impossible to avoid images of thundering horses racing beneath a Mediterranean moon — a vivid scene in search of a movie if ever there was one.
