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.
