Bill Ware: Jazz Musician in New York

About Bill Ware

Bill Ware is an American jazz vibraphonist whose work sits between straight-ahead swing and more open-ended, avant-garde language. In New York City he has appeared at Smalls Jazz Club, leading Bill Ware & the Club Bird All Stars in a compact ensemble that keeps the vibraphone at the center of the exchange. His recorded footprint reflects interests that range from free jazz to tango. The playing tends to favor texture and rhythmic push over polish or spectacle.
