William Franklin Lee III, aka Bill Lee (20 February 1929 Galveston, Texas; d. 23 October 2011 New Smyrna Beach, Florida)〔News release: ''William F. Lee III,'' University of Miami Frost School of Music, Julia D. Berg, Director of Communications, October 25, 2011〕 was an American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, author, and music educator who was renowned for pioneering comprehensive music education, including jazz, at the collegiate level of a full liberal arts university. Lee was well known for having led the University of Miami School of Music to greater international influence across several music genres, particularly jazz. He served as Miami's third dean from 1964 to 1982. In 1989, he retired from the University of Miami, but, continued to work in music education at other institutions (see below). Upon his initial retirement, the University of Miami acknowledged his contribution to his discipline and to the university by awarding him two permanent titles: (i) Distinguished Professor of Music Theory and Composition ''Emeritus'' and (ii) Composer in Residence ''Emeritus''. Before retiring, though, Lee served as Vice-President and Provost at The University of Miami. He also served as Past-President and Past Executive Director of IAJE.〔Colin M.
