We also find songs on this CD that reflect on a spiritual journey that recognizes, we all come "Full Circle", and in time learn to appreciate "The Gift" of music, given to us by the creator. Another group of songs represent his days as a young professional musician with his group (Trussel) and being influenced by Mandrill's "Fence Walk" performed by new comer, Shawanda Yeldell and "Children of the Night", by the Stylistics, performed beautifully by Yolanda "Yonnie" Coleman. Much of the music is a reflection on his early life as a young trumpet player learning songs like "Watermelon Man", "Cantaloupe Island" and his first public solo, playing "Grazing in The Grass". With a great cast of musicians and singers who all have what Bill likes to call "The Gift". His fourth solo CD "Still Bill" comes with all flavors of Jazz, Soul and Gospel-Jazz.
But after a nine year hiatus since the hit CD "Chase the Sunset", Bill wants everybody to know that he is "Still Bill", a soulful, spiritual, jazzy kind of trumpet guy, who as an arranger and composer can hang with the best in the business.

Bill recorded for the first time in 1970, in a small studio in College Park, Georgia with his classmates from Morris Brown College who went on to become "Brick" (Dazz). He was given his first trumpet lesson in 1963, and says that he's still learning how to play the instrument.
