Bill Cornish

About Me

Bill Cornish has been composing and performing a variety of music longer than he cares to remember. He was the keyboardist for the San Diego-based band Crystal from 1983-1994 with whom he opened for artists such as Kansas, Joan Jett, The Romantics and many others.

In addition to his solo work, he can frequently be seen performing live with bands ranging in style from jazz to rock.


He can be heard most recently on his latest solo album, Sojourn, as well as on the debut album from his new fusion project The Odd Get Even ,Will Sumner's jazz release Coast Drive and the Thomas Connor Band album, Teach Peace (featuring guest appearances by Grammy-winning jazz fusion violinist Jerry Goodman of The Dixie Dregs and Mahavishnu Orchestra).

Bill Cornish - Piano, Organ & Synths

Alternately introspective and firey, keyboardist Bill Cornish's music draws on a diverse set of influences to create an eclectic listening journey. Each song is an instrumental story, weaving a sophisicated hypnotic blend of diverse influences rich in melody, texture and passion.

Sure to appeal to fans of classic Windham Hill artists, jazz, new age and contemporary world fusion.
