Voted by acclimation by every musician as well as arrangers,greatest Big Band Arranger on the planet. Willis began his professional career as a tenor saxophonist for Stan Kenton who soon began putting his arranging talents to good use. He has written for virtually every well known jazz big band around as well as his own.with which he has recorded a dozen albums.For the past 30 years, Holman has fronted the most sought-after rehearsal band in L.A.  Once when a side man was asked why he continued to play in Holman's band so often and for so long for pay far below that he usually commanded, the reply was because it is such a great band with the greatest charts around.
