Bill Walker

Pianist, organist, and composer Bill Walker has performed around the San Francisco Bay Area for fifteen years, in instrumental and vocal combos. Long runs with the Penguin Jazz Quartet and Brazilian group Nossa Bossa honed Bill's sense of ensemble. He sets the tone in any setting, whether it's a large outdoor venue like KCSM's Jazz on the Hill or an intimate restaurant gig. With moods ranging from introspective to funky, Bill's playing conveys his passion for the jazz repertoire and for connecting audiences to this great music.
