Mark Isham
Biography
Trumpeter/synth programmer Mark Isham 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 Landes 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 Ishams 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 1990s 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
Hollywoods 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, Dont 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.
