Philadelphia-born Wallace Roney began playing the trumpet at age six. As a child prodigy, by the age of 12 Wallace became the youngest member of the Philadelphia brass ensemble, which was comprised of members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. During his affiliation with the brass ensemble, Wallace met jazz great Clark Terry, who became a major influence, teacher, mentor and friend. Roney then moved to Washington, DC, where he attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and was offered a job in Art Blakey’s band. Though he did not take the job, Roney did continue to sit in with a lot of great musicians, including Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins....
