A top-notch studio musician, Bill Reichenbach Jr. occasionally emerges from the commercial music world to play jazz. His father (also named Bill Reichenbach) was Charlie Byrd's regular drummer from 1962-1973. The younger Reichenbach studied at the Eastman School of Music and then recorded with Buddy Rich (1972), Toshiko Akiyoshi (1976-1977), Don Menza (1979), and Tom Scott (1983), among many others. The technically skilled Reichenbach, who led an album for the Silver Seven label in 1984, has mostly worked in Los Angeles studios during the past few decades, performing for television, films, and commercial dates.
