Definitely George Winston, as recommended upthread. It was some of the first piano music I ever heard, and has been a lifelong love ever since. I’m particularly fond of “Autumn”. Just the first piece on the album (“Colors/Dance”) has the power to instantly jerk me back to childhood evenings; I used to fall asleep to this.
