Bill Ware and Vibes

Wonder Full

Vibraphonist Bill Ware was a part of the downtown New York scene during the '80s and '90s, playing both advanced post-bop and grooving, revivalist jazz-funk. In 1987, Ware became a charter member of the highly acclaimed Jazz Passengers. He later worked with Steely Dan for several years.

With Jazz Passengers' rhythm section of Brad Jones and E.J. Rodriguez, Ware formed a group called Vibes, which played dark, pulsating jazz-funk. Ware has recorded with many great artists including Marc Ribot and Deborah Harry.

Now, with his own take on the music of Stevie Wonder, Ware is back with a new Vibes, and his first release on Random Chance Records.
