Influential New Age Pianist George Winston Dies at 73

George Winston sold over 15 million solo piano albums in his career.
He pioneered a style he called "folk piano" or "rural folk piano" that incorporated elements of jazz, classical, folk, and ambient music.
Winston frequently donated proceeds from his concerts to food banks and charities.
He continued performing and recording new music up until his death after a decade-long battle with cancer.
Winston won a Grammy and received several other nominations for his melodic and soothing piano compositions.
