Out the Door, the Billy Ward Trio
 "I absolutely love this very musical CD...Billy plays with such a great touch and feel, and the sound of the recording is amazing... A completely wonderful listening experience"
- Dave Weckl
"This is the coolest music I have heard in a very long time. I think it's the hippest Jazz I've heard in a long time. Your playing is very different from what I am used to hearing from you and I really like it. It sounds great too, and it definitely has a great  "live" vibe. love the compositions, very cool and slick in a slightly "leftfield" kinda way. Great stuff!" - Thomas Lang
Buy it for your own collection at Billy's Store. Or, you can purchase and download tracks individually from our friends at DigStation.
First Annual BWSS PlayAlong
Now here's something cool. A bunch of the members of Billy's Discussion Board recorded their version of a drum track. Billy mastered it all, cut & paste, and made it sound like an actual thing worth listening to. And now it's alive!
Download the results, and read Billy's commentary on the discussion forum. And stay tuned for version 2.0, planned for December of 2008!
