Eddie Warner was a jazz musician, band leader, and composer of library music, born on June 22, 1917, in Magdeburg, Germany. He spent most of his career in France. As a German Jew, he fled Germany when Hitler came to power and continued his studies in piano and trumpet at the Strasbourg Conservatory. As the situation worsened, he moved further west to Paris, where he became a refugee. Warner enlisted in the French Foreign Legion until the end of the war, serving as a bugler. After the war, he played the piano in Paris nightclubs and created an orchestra of tropical music, consisting of 17 musicians on annual contracts. During this time, he met Lalo, another refugee who was touring with a South American band. Eddie hired Lalo as a musician and arranger for his orchestra and assisted him in obtaining his papers. Warner passed away in 1982.
