Billie was a Venice Beach street musician and saxophonist in the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. He started playing saxophone at age 14 — he was born in Laurel, Mississippi, February 15, 1937. He had been close friends with the bebop master Little Bennie Harris (no relation). In the middle-70s he was director of the AZZ IZZ jazz club in Venice, and just prior to these sessions he had been ordained a minister. He was 43 years old at the time of these Nimbus West sessions.
