Look for the latest from the distinguished trumpeter Wallace Roney setting the autumn agenda big time in a classic hard bop direction.

Saxophonist Emilio Modeste, pianist Oscar Williams II, bassist Paul Cuffari, and drummer Kojo Odu Roney are on Blue Dawn, Blue Nights made at Van Gelder’s in New Jersey. Guitarist Quintin Zoto and drummer Lenny White complete the album collective personnel.

Wallace Roney emerged from the Ali’s Alley scene as a teen.

With Miles he appeared on Miles and Quincy Live at Montreux.

Roney is and remains a global force to be reckoned with. These sonic glimpses to dip into here underline that once again.
