Bill King Music is a comprehensive guide through the professional music ventures and world of musician Bill King.

It's a career that began in 1961 just as the big band era was winding down and rock & roll was moving to the forefront.
This was a great period for change and many of the players of the time embraced new sounds advancing recording techniques and the potential of musical hybrids.

King believes music should stay contemporary and adapt to the world around. "Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock were never rigid -always surveyed the landscape with a keen eye and listened to the beat of the planet. I listen to everything with an ear for adaptation."
Today it's singers Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Lizz Wright and others who have found a way to either revive the past and make it today or inject  themselves into the rhythm and soul of distant places and the fertile ground around them creating something new from something old.

The pages that follow document  a portion of Bill King's work as an arranger, producer, composer and photographer. Art is always a work in progress and so are these pages.
