Since then he has played in a wide range of ensembles including orchestras; jazz ensembles;  rock, celtic, blues, and metal bands; pop and country groups; and various duets...even as a solo bassist.

William produced three albums, Remembrance, Horizons, and Q in his own studio before embarking on a two year stint as chief engineer at Estudio Morelia in Mexico.

William Maxwell's "The Picture Show"

William Maxwell, a delightful personality, is obviously a very talented and versatile musician. His new CD, The Picture Show, is a unique mix of tunes that will take you on a deep ride when you allow yourself to simply be alone with his music. What a lovely experience to listen to William's compositions and watch the picture show that unfolds in your mind. I especially enjoyed Windows and Blue Into Green, and look forward to soothing myself by listening to William's tunes each time I want to enjoy a new picture show within.
