The Harmonic Imagination of Bill Mays

We welcome pianist Bill Mays in the first of two episodes. He moves easily between the jazz and classical spheres as a composer, arranger, performer, and recording artist. Bill tells us about his artistic development, his experience performing with jazz stars, and the inspiration behind his music. He also shares two of his winsome tunes. Bill will return in Episode 35. Music in this episode:“Whistling Pastor” composed by Bill Mays © No Blooze Music, used by permission.
