Bill King has arranged hundreds of songs for various recording and performance projects. You can sample the diverse range of styles by listening to the player below. Vocalists, instrumentalist - jazz, blues, pop and beyond. Arrangements are designed to meet the needs of each specific project. " The human voice reaches people like no other instrument. I first heard Nat Cole and Patti Page on radio when I was a child on the family radio but it was Dinah Washington, Barbara Striesand, Dusty Springfield, Etta James, Mahalia Jackson, who would eventually touch a nerve. Some people have an original voice a quality in the delivery and sound that sets them apart. It's as if all conversation is a song. I try to bring that intimacy to the music."

You're listening to June Garber at the moment and 'Bye, Bye Blues.' "Arranging this particular track was a ball in that I was able to merge two classics - 'Bye, Bye, Blues' and 'Cloudburst." Tenor saxophonist Mike Murley and trumpeter William Sperandei rip it up playing overlapping solos during the out course." 

"I've been fortunate to build a stable rhythm section for the majority of my projects with either Mark Kelso or Davide DiRenzo drums, Murley and Sperandei horns, Duncan Hopkins bass, Rob Piltch guitar and Jorge Luis Torres percussion."
