Body Balance's own jazz man, Bill Douglass

Bill Douglass studies tai chi at Body Balance Academy. He plays live music at our Tai Chi with Tea events on the second Saturday of each month. He often brings other local musicians to accompany him. Joe Fajen and Kit Bailey are regulars.

Last weekend, Bill was interviewed by Tom Kellar for The Prospector Magazine. Read the article, and you'll learn a lot about the Bay Area jazz scene. We are fortunate to have such a fine musician in our community.

Reposting from The Prospector:

Local jazz bassist Bill Douglass is yet another example of the incredible musical talent that populates Nevada County.
A jazz mainstay in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly four decades, he has shared the stage or recording studio with the likes of Marian McPartland, Tom Waits, Bobby McFerrin and Mose Allison.
Douglass moved back to this area 15 years ago and along with continuing to play shows in the region with folks like John Girton, Steven Holland and Motoshi Kosako, he is also the artistic director for the Sierra Jazz Camp, which takes place July 16-20 at the Nevada City School of the Arts.
For more information about the camp, go to sierrajazzsociety.com or call Registrar Julia Glasse at 530-273-0568
