Warren Kime has lived a full and interesting musical life. He has been a brass player, singer, big band leader, music producer, and now a jazz recorder player.

Warren studied recorder at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago with George Olson, a premier recorder teacher. He eventually formed the New Cambrian Society Recorder Quartet with Roberta Sweet. The Quartet played concerts, performed in colleges throughout the Midwest and in commercials. They recorded an album called "Ripples". In 2003 Warren formed the Recorder Jazz Quartet and recorded a CD of his original music called "Recorder Jazz". He was backed by veteran jazz players George Mazzeo (drums), Gary Mayone (piano) and Don Coffman (bass). The May issue of the American Recorder Magazine described this new CD as "original jazz charts with a great groove".
