Eddie Warner

Eddie Warner (real name: Warner Blumann) was a jazz musician, band leader and composer of library music. He also recorded under the names: Antony Cadogan, Archie GUN, Peter Bonello, Terrence Redcliff, The Eddie Warner Band, L’Orchestre D’Eddie Warner.

Warner made practically all his career in France. In 1945, he made a remarkable entry at the Ecole Normale de la Musique as a jazz pianist and had success in the fifties with his band Eddie Warner et sa musique tropicale, surfing on the wave of Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado. He was involved in many popular dancing venues in France during the fifties for such places like the new cabaret du Moulin Rouge.

Library music fans should be fairly familiar with his work, from compilations such as “Luke Vibert’s Nuggets”, “La Guepe Vol.2”, “Music For Dancefloors: Cream Of The Chappell Music Library Sessions” along with “Le Jazzbeat Vol.2” which borrows heavily from these two collections.
