abroad. But his interests go beyond Jazz
music as his expertise in both Broadway pit orchestras or pop bands are every
bit an equal to session work and composition/arranging. Besides twenty-five years of professional experience,
Bill takes great pride in educating future generations as a faculty member of
Los Angeles’s premier arts academy, the Los
Angeles County High School for the Arts.When not making music, he writes science fiction and enjoys the
company of his French Bulldogs Captain
and Mei Mei. Bill is endorsed by TAMA drums and VATER drumsticks.
