Eddie Ware (April 20, 1931 – December 6, 1978) was a Chicago blues pianist, singer and band leader.[1][2]
Eddie W. Ware was born in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents were Gin Ware and Johnnie Lee Daniels. Nothing is published about his early life, but he became a much less known but very talented pianist who appeared briefly in the early 1950's either recording on his own or backing up a few other Chicago artists.
He was mainstay in the piano seat for the early Jimmy Rogers Chess recordings. After one session, Chess allowed him one of his own from which the minor hit Lima Beans emerged. He moved to Mercury records where he backed up two sessions with the vocalist Ray Snead, including I'm A Good Rocking Baby.
He had another Chess session this time backing Arbee Stidham with just two titles being issued. He also recorded with the Blues Rockers, Blue Smitty, Eddie Chamblee ans Honeyboy Edwards and possibly Johnny Shines. His last outing was for States records again with only two titles appearing.
By 1953 Ware left the recording scene for an Army career, becoming Supervisor in General Services Administration. After this his trail goes cold. Sadly, the last news about Eddie was that on 6th December 1978 he was dead on arrival at the Roseland Community Hospital, Chicago, Illinois and was cremated at the Oaklands Crematory.
The CD "Eddie Ware in session: A Pretty Wild Guy - 1951-1953" features almost all, if not all of his appearances on record.
