Founded in 1976 by Will Ackerman and his then-wife Anne Robinson, Windham Hill became the most influential and prominent independent record label during the 1980s and 1990s. They were well-known for their distinguishable high-quality records and sound, and became synonymous with a particular undefinable style of music that reached every home who wanted pleasant, if somewhat easy, sounding music. Being an independent label, the musicians became a family wrapped around each other, and many played together; some of the more prominent members of the label included Michael Hedges, George Winston, Jim Brickman, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, Mark Isham and Shadowfax. Windham Hill is now a subsidiary imprint of the Sony BMG record conglomerate, after BMG bought the label first from Ackerman in 1992 then from Robinson in 1996.
