| Geri Allen has been called the most promising and versatile pianist that has emerged in the field of jazz within the last decade. She builds further upon the proud traditions of the jazz piano, which she has been able to unite and renew with impulses from the present and the past, from many different music forms and musical worlds. She has worked with James Newton, Steve Coleman's M-Base and many others. In 1984 Allen published Printmakers, the first record under her own name. Roney put in his stint in one of the last editions of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He began recording as a leader in the late '80s with several sessions for Muse in primarily a hard bop mode. Wallace Roney's trumpet tone, timbre, approach, phrasing, and sound are reminiscent of Miles Davis. Roney, played many of Miles Davis' parts on the 1992 tribute to the Birth of the Cool sessions, which was issued in 1993 as Miles Davis and Quincy Jones at Montreaux. |
