In the UK he has worked with some of that country's best, including Ken Colyer, Monty Sunshine, Pat Halcox, Cuff Billet, Chris Blount to name a few.
Bob Ward and his "New Orleans Ramblers" were a common sight from 1978-1984
In NZ he has played with (and still is) the Vintage Jazz Band, Mike Nisbet, and naturally, wanting to be with the best, The Chicago Jazzmen.
Bob's distinctive trombone and vocal style makes playing with him a rare pleasure.
