Bill Goodwin

Bill Goodwin is a seasoned jazz drummer and producer whose career stretches back to the 1970s, best known for his tight, intuitive rhythms and decades of collaboration with saxophonist Phil Woods. A versatile artist, he’s led his own groups (like the trio and quartet projects listed in his recent releases) while also producing and recording with jazz greats like Tony Bennett, Gary Burton, and singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones. His recent work—including the groove-forward *Heavy Times*, the Cole Porter tribute album, and lively collabs with folks like organist Pat Bianchi—showcases his knack for balancing hard-swinging energy with lyrical subtlety. Whether anchoring a trio or diving into adventurous post-bop, Goodwin’s drumming remains a masterclass in musical conversation.
