Wyndham Hill is not a group, it is a record label. Their ads have a list of various musical genres (rock, jazz, folk, classical), each one crossed out, with the words Wyndham Hill (not crossed out) at the bottom of the list. Says something... I haven't heard much material yet from this label, but I've been told that the label seeks a rather diverse sound, with a fair dose of what gets called "ECM jazz" (you have to listen to ECM to know what I'm trying to describe). -- If it doesn't change your life, it's not worth doing.

Windham Hill is indeed a record label, but often artists who record on the label tour together. This is what produced the Windham Hill Live recordings. I saw this years group (Lis Story, Michael Hedges, Darol Anger, and a number of others) in Minneapolis. It was well worth going to.

One of the people who play on the Windham Hill label is Will Ackerman. He is a guitarist who plays in the style of Leo Kottke, but likes to unison overdub himself to give a bigger sound. The reason I know about this label is that about 5 years ago, when I was trying to break into the recording studio field, I met a guy by the name of Scott Saxon, who owned (owns?) Mantra Studios. This studio did the recording of Mr. Ackerman's first and second albums. Unfortunately, I lost contact with the studio over the years, so I don't know if Mantra is still recording for Windham Hill. -- Andrew Sharpe ihnp4!-------- \ mot! ---------- \ ucbvax!unisoft! > drivax!sharpe ucscc!--------- / amdahl!------- / "When you have eliminated all the impossibilities, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" -- Sherlock Holmes

Different Fur studios in Menlo Park does most of the recording for Windham Hill. I think that Shadowfax records in LA and Mark Isham recorded _Vapor Drawings_ in London (England), though. Yours for better musik, Nick Cuccia ucbvax!cuccia cuccia@Berkeley
