Amazon.com Because the brilliant trumpeter Wallace Roney emerged on the jazz scene at the same time as Wynton Marsalis, it took a little while for his star to shine (and not be in Marsalis's shadow). Roney recorded for Muse and Warner Bros., and with No Room for Argument, he's found a new home on Chick Corea's Stretch label. He's backed by a first-rate ensemble that includes his wife, keyboardist Geri Allen, his brother Antoine on saxophones and bass clarinet, and several Miles Davis alumni: bassist Buster Williams, drummer Lenny White, and synthesizer wizard Adam Holzman. With his piercing Milesian Harmon mute and full-bodied open horn at the helm, Roney delivers 10 tracks that blend 1970s-style fusion with cutting-edge technology and good old-fashioned bebop licks, with samples of speeches by Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Malcolm X sprinkled on most of the tracks. From the martial title cut and Prince riffs to the brilliant blending of John Coltrane and Miles on "Homage & Acknowledgement (Love Supreme/Filles De Kilimanjaro)," Wallace Roney sets his sights high and ascends. --Eugene Holley Jr. Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews"spiritual high - pure talent" J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 11/03/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Stretch Records presents a cast of modern jazz stalwarts - Steven Hall (tenor & soprano sax & bass clarinet), Antoine Roney (tenor & soprano sax & bass clarinet), Geri Allen (piano, Fender Rhodes electric piano. synthesizer), Adam Holzman (Wurlitzer electric piano, organ, mini-moog, synthesizers), Buster Williams (bass), Lenny White (drums), Val "Gelder" Jeanty (samples & electronica) - join Wallace Roney in a recording that leaves "No Room For Argument". It's simply one of his most creative and mesmerizing outings to date.Wallace Roney merges modern, creative jazz improvisation with infectious, relentless grooves, peppered with almost subliminal yet highly-charged samples and electronica...always on the cutting edge. Herbie Hancock once said - "I think music is supposed to make you high, give you an experience so that you can transport yourself from wherever you are, more conscious of you inner consciousness"...and Satchmo was quoted - "I'm not doing anything, it doesn't need an explanation. I'm reacting to what's been done and what's supposed to be happening today, everything you've ever heard, all that is condensed, we play body "Body and Soul" in two bars, I wanted to play songs that have a definite beginning and an ending".Well, this CD is that, and then some...might not be your cup of tea, but try some...you may just like it!Total Time: 71:42 on 10 Tracks...Stretch Records 9033...(2000)" Great CD! season@tvafricafan.com | Minnesota | 12/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the best CD I purchased this year! He is taking a strecth using the electrical stuff... but I actually like it! I would recommend this to anyone seeking to hear new jazz music (not repackaged CD of stuff you already have in your collection)and good acid jazz/alternative music as well. This is good stuff." Mr. Roney goes "Out there"! Drez | MD USA | 08/13/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "With this release, Wallace seperates himself further from his contemporary trumpeters. "No Room for Argument" is an excellent, multi-faceted, gem. The added layers of sound and voice float in and out of the slightly subdued (except track 9), instrumental virtuosity. It all blends into a very modern sound. As a Trumpeter/leader/composer, Mr. Roney is definitely headed "Out there"! Long live the Committee."
