Bill Beach

Bill Beach is exactly my kind of musician. Born in 1953 in Corvallis, Oregon, a jazz pianist, vocalist, songwriter and teacher who still keeps his own website running, he has clearly spent a lifetime in service of the music rather than the spotlight. Jazz survives on craftsmen like this: players who chase the right note instead of the chart position, and who hand their knowledge down to the next generation. I find that deeply admirable. There is a particular dignity in an artist who has been at the keyboard for over half a century and is still showing up. Quiet, genuine, and built to last.
