Raised in Florida, Bill Pierce has performed and recorded with Freddie Hubbard, Tony Williams, Art Farmer, James Williams, Hank Jones, Art Blakey, Branford Marsalis and Wynton Marsalis. He is the former woodwind department chair at Berklee College of Music, where he landed at age 18 during the late 1960s, studying jazz during the day and gigging at night.
For two years, he played steadily at the Sugar Shack, a now defunct club on Boylston Street opposite the Boston Common where all of the top R&B acts used to play. He interrupted his studies to tour with Stevie Wonder, and then returned to Berklee, graduated and became part of the faculty in 1975.
