Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Accent

Accent and Bill Fulton at the 19th Hole placed Fulton on piano and keyboards with Accent at Westlake Golf Course. The venue stood on Lakeview Canyon Road in Westlake Village. Ronnie Crumbly is the other musician named in the surviving entry. He joined the group on saxophone.

The surviving entry is concise, but the venue gives the engagement a distinct setting. The 19th Hole served as the golf course lounge. By evening, the room also provided a setting for live entertainment. Accent’s appearance paired Fulton’s keyboards with Crumbly’s saxophone. Both musicians appear in several surviving entries connected with the group.

Today, Westlake Golf Course continues to operate at 4812 Lakeview Canyon Road. That is the same address attached to Fulton’s archived performance. The current course website confirms the location. Meanwhile, Fulton’s entry preserves a piece of the property’s former nightlife.

Fulton’s original event note says the 19th Hole no longer exists. It also raises the possibility that the lounge later continued under another name. However, the surviving facts tell the essential story. Accent appeared at the Westlake Golf Course address. Fulton played keyboards, while Ronnie Crumbly played saxophone. Those details distinguish this engagement from the fuller Accent lineup documented at Cheers in Simi Valley.

The engagement belongs to the Los Angeles chapter of Fulton’s performing career. His All About Jazz profile notes his move to Los Angeles in 1987. During that period, he continued performing on piano and keyboards. He also studied at the Dick Grove School of Music. His composing and arranging career developed alongside that live work.

Fulton’s own site collects additional appearances in his keyboardist and pianist credits. His arranging, composition and orchestration credits cover the writing side of his career. In addition, his present-day professional work appears on the music services page.
