“...elegant piano harmonies and improvisations.”
“...an accomplished composer”

“Bill Beach truly shines, showing his exquisite phrasing”

“...high class to say the least and a joy to hear.” “...refreshes and soothes the soul.”

                                       - Tim Taylor, Audiophile Audition

In 2003 Bill began studying Portuguese and singing Brazilian music. In 2004 he released his first CD, ‘LETTING GO’, a mix of Brazilian vocals and original instrumentals and shortly after established his own label, AXIAL RECORDS. As he continued to study the language of Brazil, travel to Brazil and learn more music from that culture he also began to write his own lyrics in Portuguese. In 2010 he released the CD ‘BRAZIL BEAT’, comprised completely of original music and his Portuguese lyrics. He followed that in 2011 with the release of ‘BUZIOS’, also all original. 

“Bill Beach is a swinging jazz pianist with a terrific sense of motion and a fleet set of rhythmic reflexes. What's been kept under wraps is that Beach is also a great singer.”            
                                    - Tim Duroche, Willamette Week

His music has been used in film and television productions by Warner Brothers, CBS, Fox and Netflix. Bill continues to perform with his jazz trio and quartet but has also established his band BILL BEACH & BRASIL BEAT to focus on the music of Brazil and his own original songs written in Portuguese.
