In the early 1920s, Ward was a member of Mamie Moffitt's Five Jazz Hounds, together with, among others, Harold Black on violin and banjo, John Byard (father of Jaki Byard) on trombone[2] and, occasionally Wendell Culley on trumpet.[3]

Following the breakup of the band, due to Moffitt's ill health, Ward went on the form the Nite Hawks, with Byard, Black, Culley,[3] and Freddie Bates on tenor sax, who would be joined, in 1929, by Howie Jefferson.[1]

Ward also ran the Nile Cafe, a jazz venue on Summer Street in Worcester.[1] Boots Ward's Nile Cafe is believed to have been the only jazz venue with an African American owner at the time.[1]
