Di ritorno negli Stati Uniti, suona con Dave Martin nella grande orchestra diretta per qualche tempo da Colema Hawkins (1939), con Louis Armstrong (1940), Red Norvo (Kelly’s Stable, 1942-43).

Inizia Una seconda carriera come attore-musicista-cantante a Broadway e si segnala in Carmen Jones (1943), Anna Lucasta (1945) e Beggars Holiday (1946). Torna in Europa nel 1949 con Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly), poi riprende a New York il suo lavoro nelle commedie musicali: Lost In The Stars (1950), Green Pastures (1951), My Darling Aida (1952), alla televisione e in orchestre dove continua a fare la sua parte alla tromba, come nello show One Mo’ Time, o nella rivista Black And Blue con cui va a Parigi nel 1985 e 1986.

È soprattutto per i suoi interventi registrati a Parigi nel 1937 che Bill Dillard è stato notato. Si dimostra in effetti un eccellente discepolo di Louis Armstrong suonando la tromba con calore e delicatezza.

American trumpet player and singer (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 20.7.1911 - New York, 16.1.1995).

​He received his first trumpet lessons from Clarence Smith, played in local orchestras, and traveled to New York in 1929. He performed there with various formations before being hired for a tour by Jelly Roll Morton.

He passes in the orchestras of Bingie Madison (1930), Luis Russell (1931-32), Benny Carter (1933), Lucky Millinder, who brings him to Europe (1933), Teddy Hill (1934-38), with whom he returns to the old continent for the Paris International Exposition of 1937. Back in the United States, he plays with Dave Martin in the great orchestra conducted for some time by Colema Hawkins (1939), with Louis Armstrong (1940), Red Norvo (Kelly's Stable, 1942-43).

He began his second career as an actor-musician-singer on Broadway and was noted in Carmen Jones (1943), Anna Lucasta (1945), and Beggars Holiday (1946). He returned to Europe in 1949 with Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly), then resumed his work in musical comedies in New York: Lost In The Stars (1950), Green Pastures (1951), My Darling Aida (1952), on television and in orchestras where he continues to do his part on the trumpet, as in the show One Mo' Time, or in the magazine Black And Blue with which he goes to Paris in 1985 and 1986.

It is mainly because of his interventions recorded in Paris in 1937 that Bill Dillard was noticed. Indeed, he proves to be an excellent disciple of Louis Armstrong by playing the trumpet with warmth and delicacy.
