Wallace Roney November 23, 2007

Miles Davis might be one of the most revered and imitated jazz musicians ever, but Wallace Roney holds the distinction of being the only trumpet player Davis ever personally mentored. This Grammy Award-winning musician is heralded as an "improviser who loves complicated, almost mathematical lines and who performs with catlike grace" by the New York Times, and stands as one of the most exciting and innovative performers on the creative music scene today.
