Wallace Roney's quandary recalls that of Sonny Stitt in the '50s and '60s: his trumpet feeling, quality, orgasm, diction, and sound so closely mirror that of Miles Davis in his pre-jazz/rock phase that he's been savaged in many places for organism a clone and unrepentant imitator. Stitt stopped-up playing alto for age because of his patronage of organism labeled a Charlie Parker dead ringer; Roney, on the other hand, played many of Miles Davis' parts on the 1992 tribute to the Parentage of the Cool roger Sessions, which was issued in 1993 as Miles Davis and Quincy Jones at Montreaux. Roney regular addressed the site in the publication Jazz Times in 1993, blasting what he power saw as unfair critical fixing with his stylistic similarity to Davis. It's a classical no-win site; he does healthy staggeringly like Davis and can't be completely clear from critical charges of imitation. But he's too a fine, resonant player on ballads and backside be igneous and explosive on up-tempo tunes. Roney assign in his stint in one of the last editions of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He began recording as a loss leader in the late '80s with various roger Sessions for Muse in in the starting time place a hard federal Bureau of Prisons mode, many pairing him with equally energized saxophonists Gary Thomas or Kenny Garrett. In 2000, Roney took a creative turn toward funk and observational post-bop with the album No Room for Argument, a counsel he has stuck with through diverse albums, including 2004's Image and 2005's Mystikal. He released Jazz in 2007.
