You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Wilbur Bernard Ware''' (September 8, 1923 &ndash; September 9, 1979) was an American [[jazz]] double bassist.<ref name="LF">Feather, Leonard & Gitler, Ira (2007) ''The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz'', p. 674. [[Oxford University Press]]</ref> He was a regular bassist for the [[Riverside Records|Riverside]] record label in the 1950s, and recorded regularly in that decade with [[Johnny Griffin]], [[Kenny Dorham]], [[Kenny Drew]], and [[Thelonious Monk]]. He also appeared on records released by [[J.R. Monterose]], [[Toots Thielemans]], [[Sonny Clark]], [[Tina Brooks]], [[Zoot Sims]], and [[Grant Green]], among others.

==Career==
Ware grew up in Chicago where he taught himself to play drums, banjo, bass while playing at church. In the 1940s, he worked with [[Stuff Smith]], [[Sonny Stitt]], and [[Roy Eldridge]].<ref name="Larkin50">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Fifties Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=2002|edition=Third|isbn=1-85227-937-0|pages=476/7))</ref> He recorded with [[Sun Ra]] in the early 1950s.<ref name="LF" /> Later in the 1950s, settling in New York City, Ware played with [[Eddie Vinson]], [[Art Blakey]], and [[Buddy DeFranco]].<ref name="Larkin50"/> His only album recorded as a leader and released during his lifetime was ''[[The Chicago Sound]]'', from 1957 when he worked for Riverside.<ref name="Larkin50"/> He made jazz instructional albums for Music Minus One. In 1958, Ware was one of 57 jazz musicians to appear in the photograph [[A Great Day in Harlem (photograph)|A Great Day in Harlem]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.a-great-day-in-harlem.com/musicians.html|title=Musicians|website=A-great-day-in-harlem.com|access-date=October 29, 2019))</ref>

Ware was a member of the [[Thelonious Monk]] quartet from 1957 to 1958. He also performed and recorded in 1957 with the [[Sonny Rollins]] Trio at the [[Village Vanguard]]. Largely self taught, Ware had an unorthodox but highly unique and percussive approach to the bass.

Ware's addiction to narcotics resulted in his return to Chicago in 1963, and then to a period of incarceration. He was inactive musically for about six years.<ref name="LF" /> In 1969, Ware played with [[Clifford Jordan]], [[Elvin Jones]] and Sonny Rollins.<ref name="Larkin50"/> He died from [[emphysema]] in [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]], in 1979.<ref name="Larkin50"/>
