BILL PIERCE JAZZ QUARTET
Saxophonist Bill Pierce is known in the jazz world for both his innovative hard bop playing and his distinguished career as an educator.
Pierce began performing in the early 70's in Boston while a student at Berklee College of Music, appearing with artists such as Marvin Gaye, and toured with Stevie Wonder’s band.
In 1980, he joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, serving as musical director and sharing the bandstand with other young talents including Bobby Watson, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, and Donald Harrison. He regularly performed with the Freddie Hubbard Quintet, and in 1985 he joined the Tony Williams Quintet.
Pierce is consistently featured at major national and international jazz festivals and venues.
