George Winston, the singular pianist who fused inspirations from stride, R&B and New Age styles to create his own smooth instrumental music, died June 4 at age 73.
He had been battling cancer for the past 10 years, according to a statement on his website. The news comes after the Grammy-winning musician — he also played harmonica and acoustic guitar — underwent bone marrow transplants in 2003 and 2012.
He released his 16th studio album, Night, on May 6, 2022, via RCA Records but postponed this year’s tour dates because of his health.
