Wallace Roney

I. No Job Too Big Or Small (2003)



Like trumpeters Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Roy Hargrove, and Philip Harper, Wallace Roney came to the jazz scene in the 1980s and became known as one of the "young lions." "No Job Too Big or Small" is a compilation of Roney's recordings in the late 80's and early 90's for Muse.

II. Crunchin (1994)



Very vibrant work from trumpeter Wallace Roney -- the sort of record that seems to burst out strongly even on the ballads -- which is no surprise, given Wallace's tone at the time! The group here is a strong one for Roney -- Antonio Hart on alto, Geri Allen on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums -- and although the tunes are mostly standards, Wallace voices them strongly as his one -- hitting hard with that Roney approach even at gentle moments, but sounding especially nice on the upbeat tracks.
