Bill Ware & the Club Bird All-Stars

In 1990, Bill was invited to Yokohama, Japan, to lead a group of New York jazz musicians for a three-month engagement at a popular venue called “Club Bird.” On returning to the US, Bill added members from AM Sleep to the group, calling it “Bill Ware and the Club Bird All-Stars.”

The first recording of the Club Bird All Stars was “Long and Skinny” (Knitting Factory Works – 1993) which received rave reviews. Since the 90’s and throughout the years since, Bill has performed numerous times around New York City with the Club Bird All-Stars.

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. The newest 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.
