(He also released his own albums via his personal imprint, with distribution through Windham Hill through the mid-2000s and RCA thereafter.) But he will forever be predominantly identified as one of the most famous pianists of the late 20th century. In fact, he started up his own label, Dancing Cat Records, largely because of his interest in releasing albums by artists playing the Hawaiian slack-key guitar. Winston’s interests went beyond piano, as he also released acoustic guitar and harmonica recordings. His success continued into the ’90s, when three more of his albums went gold: “Summer,” “Forest” and a tribute album, “Linus and Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi.” He had two other albums that reached the platinum level (“Autumn” and “Winter Into Spring”), also in the early ’80s. It was one of the releases that put the Windham Hill label on the map. “December” was his bestselling album, by dint of being considered a Christmas album, being certified triple-platinum in the U.S.
