The James Ward Band, also known as The JWB, has a world class sound of its own and is recognized as one of the most sought after Bands in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Their show fusing contemporary jazz, fusion, blues, R&B, gospel, and a dose of Latin is uplifting and satisfying to the emotions.

The James Ward Band performs at events such as the Jazz and Wine Festival, Rhythm and Ribs Festival, Lee's Summit Downtown Days, and Music on Main in Grandview.  James and Angela currently facilitate Music Education Workshops and Music Lessons in a Residency at Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council.  The members of The JWB are Clifford Mills on Percussion and Vocals, Jaylen Ward on drums, Angela Ward on keyboards, and James Ward on bass.
