WISCONSIN JAZZ MUSICIAN WITH  INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION
CELEBRATES TWO  MILESTONES 
Drummer & Bandleader Bill Sargent Marks His 40th Year 
While His Bands Celebrate A Quarter Century Of Music And  Entertainment. 
Sunday, November 18th marks 25 years of musical and  entertainment excellence 
in  Wisconsin by Bill Sargent and Bill  Sargent Bands. Over the years, the 
line-up of bands has  included 
- The Bill Sargent Big Band 
- Bill Sargent’s Swing Kings 
- Bill Sargent’s Trad-Jazz Rousers Dixieland  Band 
- Bill Sargent’s Custom Bands, including various small  jazz, dance and 
gospel bands. 
The Milwaukee Journal said: "They're the tightest, most  solid ensemble of 
expert musicians  Milwaukee may ever see. Sargent  shines . . ." 
Over the last quarter century, Bill’s bands have never  missed nor cancelled 
an engagement for any reason. 
Also, this year, Bill is celebrating his 40th year in the  music business as 
a professional drummer. Bill has never missed an engagement,  for any reason, 
in the complete 40 years! 
Bill Sargent, a resident of West  Allis, is a life-long resident of  
Wisconsin. 
He began playing professionally at the age of 13. By 16,  he was traveling 
with the world-famous Clyde McCoy. Over the past four decades,  he has traveled 
and performed with many of the world’s most famous bands and  musicians.

Bill Sargent Bands have performed at the top events and  venues while 
employing the best musicians in  Wisconsin for 25 years. While  doing so, Bill has 
consistently employed more musicians per engagement (on  average) and provided 
more work for musicians in our area over a longer period  of time than any 
other band in existence and probably in the history of the  state of Wisconsin.
