ABSTRACT
Acoustic guitarist and founder of Windham Hill Records; pioneer of “new age” music. Although an accomplished acoustic guitarist whose solo albums incorporate elements of folk, jazz, and European classicism, Ackerman’s greatest impact has come from founding Windham Hill Productions. The company-which includes Lost Lake Arts Records, Magenta Records, Open Air Records, Rabbit Ears Productions, and Windham Wind Records-has dominated the new age genre since the late 1970s.
