In a few words:
...
Similar to the Jarrett case, here we have the sixth solo piano album by the pianist George Winston. As you might expect, there is no other instrument here, just a piano. And believe me, there is no need for something else. Beautiful melodies, emotional playing and a melancholic feeling is all over the album. Winston's playing has the charisma to makes you relax. He doesn't emphasizes on technique, but only on emotions. This album is another personal favorite for night listening. After a busy day (at work/at school or whatever), put it to your player, sit down and leave the rest to Mr. Winston. :-)

Personal highlights:
"All of it!"
