Bill’s approach evokes so much emotion which carries throughout effortlessly within his music.” - Nikkole, Contemporary R&B, Pop, Dance singer/songwriter
“I remember hearing Bill at The Village Underground in New York. It was a place I had played at before, but that night Bill was subbing for Ezra Brown and I kind of just watched him work. I realized after hearing this guy play, I needed to be practicing a lot more than what I was. He was ferocious on tenor.”
— Matthew Hartnett (Trombonist: Lauryn Hill, Nas, Dave Chappelle)
