William F. Endle

I just heard a play of Dave Grusin’s “Mountain Dance,” which, having been introduced to me by Bill, shocked me into realizing I had forgotten to acknowledge his passing. As a fellow American Jazz Express member, I found Bill to be a highly talented and skilled artist. He was knowledgeable and educated at an awe-inspiring level. He was supportive and helpful, always. It was an honor, a privilege, and a pleasure to have known and worked with him.
