 Steve Winwood - Biography - AOL Music
As a solo artist, Steve Winwood is primarily associated with the highly polished blue-eyed soul-pop that made him a star in the '80s.
Possessed of a powerful, utterly distinctive voice, Winwood was also an excellent keyboardist who remained an in-demand session musician for most of his career, even while busy with high-profile projects.
Winwood eventually tired of the tight pop-single format; by the mid-'60s, the cutting edge of rock & roll often involved stretching out instrumentally, and with his roots in jazz, Winwood wanted the same opportunity.

 LECTURE 27: Rock
Rock is the most important musical genre of the past 50 years, because it has gone beyond being a mere musical style to influence politics, commerce, fashion, and even vocabulary.
Nobody is more acutely aware of this fact than the musicians themselves, who are constantly being reminded of it by their record company, their peers, the press (if they read their reviews), and, of course, mostly importantly, by the consumer.
Jazz-rock has a rock orientation, predominantly vocal, with the jazz influence being mainly in the realm of instrumentation (adding a 'horn section' of trumpet, sax and/or trombone), and the addition of subtle jazz harmonies, unusual meters, changing meters, and complex rhythms.
