Bill Potts (April 3, 1928, Arlington, Virginia – February 15, 2005, Fort Lauderdale, Florida) was an American jazz pianist and arranger. Potts played Hawaiian guitar as a child and accordion in his teens. He picked up piano in high school after hearing Count Basie. While serving in the Army from 1949 to 1955 he transcribed charts for Army bands; he also arranged for Joe Timer and Willis Conover's ensemble, THE Orchestra. He wrote four of the songs on THE Orchestra's 1954 Brunswick Records LP, and recorded some of their live shows, which occasionally featured guest appearances from Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
