Wallace Roney - The Standard Bearer
Review by Johnice Reid
Wallace Roney's album The Standard Bearer is a remarkable jazz fusion album that showcases his immense talent as a trumpeter and bandleader. The album features an impressive lineup of musicians, including pianist Patrice Rushen, saxophonist Gary Bartz, and drummer Lenny White.
The album opens with the title track "The Standard Bearer," a lively and energetic tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Roney's trumpet playing is masterful, and he effortlessly weaves in and out of the intricate melodies with ease.
Other standout tracks include "Why Should There Be Stars," a haunting ballad that showcases Roney's ability to convey emotion through his playing, and "Bookendz," a funky tune that features some impressive solos from Rushen and Bartz.
