Trumpeter/synth programmer Mark Isham (*1951) was not only an important part of the Windham
Hill stable, but also a successful and versatile composer for film and television, garnering equal acclaim
for both his new age and soundtrack work. Born September 7, 1951, to a musical family in New York, Isham
began studying classical music (specifically trumpet, piano, and violin) as a child. His family later moved
to San Francisco, where Isham played with several local orchestras. However, he was also interested in
jazz, pop, and rock music, and moonlighted with a wide variety of local bands; during the '70s, he also
learned to program synthesizers. Eventually, he left classical music behind and became a touring and
session musician for both jazz (Pharoah Sanders, Charles Lloyd) and pop (the Beach Boys, Van Morrison)
artists. He joined jazz pianist Art Lande's Rubisa Patrol quartet, where he displayed a strong Miles Davis
influence, and founded a band called Group 87 that played what was essentially contemporary instrumental
music years before the term existed as a new age subgenre (they released two albums, the first in 1980).
The '80s also saw Isham continue his sideman activities, going on to play with the likes of David Sylvian,
Was (Not Was), the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Suzanne Vega, XTC, Joni Mitchell, and Willie Nelson,
among many others.
1983 was a pivotal year for Isham: he released his solo debut on Windham Hill, Vapor Drawings, and
scored his first film, the Disney release Never Cry Wolf. The first Windham Hill release to emphasize
electronics, Vapor Drawings established Isham as a composer adept at blending synthetic and acoustic
timbres and became a progressive electronic classic. Meanwhile, Never Cry Wolf quickly led to numerous
other soundtrack assignments, demonstrating Isham's facility with a wide variety of musical styles and
instrumental settings. Seeking wider exposure by the late '80s, Isham began recording for Virgin,
although he continued to release material on Windham Hill as well. He was nominated for Grammys
for Best New Age Performance for his albums Castalia (1988) and Tibet (1989), and finally won for
1990's Mark Isham. In 1992, Isham premiered his first commissioned orchestral work, Five Stories for
Trumpet and Orchestra, with the St. Louis Symphony, also serving as the soloist. The same year, he
was nominated for an Academy Award for his score for A River Runs Through It, which increased
Hollywood's demand for his services even further; among his highest-profile assignments in the years
to come were Short Cuts, Quiz Show, Kiss the Girls, Blade, the Grammy nominated Men of Honor,
Save the Last Dance, Don't Say a Word, Life as a House, and The Majestic. Isham also won an Emmy
for his scoring work on the television show EZ Streets, and earned nominations for Chicago Hope and
Nothing Sacred. In 1995, Isham released his first album for Columbia, Blue Sun, which found him
moving into full-fledged contemporary jazz. He continued in that direction with his next non-soundtrack
project, the In a Silent Way tribute/reinterpretation of Miles Remembered: The Silent Way Project,
issued in 1999.
