In 1990, Bill Ware was invited to Yokohama Japan to lead a band of NYC jazz musicians for a three-month engagement at a popular venue called “Club Bird.” On returning to the US, Bill and his Club Bird All Stars recorded “Long and Skinny” (Knitting Factory Works – 1993) to rave reviews. Since the 90’s Bill Ware and the Club Bird All Stars have performed numerous times around New York City with varying members, always featuring original compositions by Ware.
In 2024, Bill will take his Club Bird All-Stars into Van Gelder Recording Studio to record new compositions inspired in part by Bill’s film score work from the Covid-19 pandemic. This new iteration of the Club Bird All-Stars will feature guitarist Rez Abbasi, with Matt King on piano, Jay Anderson on bass, and Taru Alexander on drums.
