Ex-Jazz Messenger and tutored by Miles Davis, Wallace Roney possesses a fine pedigree. Indeed ‘A Place in Time’ echoes in style Davis’s classic 60’s quintet (Hancock/ Carter/ Shorter/ Williams). Roney’s supporting cast includes Patrice Rushen, Gary Bartz and drummer Lenny White. Roney’s tone and sound echo that of his mentor. Moody cuts like ‘Air Dancing’ and the driving ‘Around And Through’ are authentic modal Jazz. ‘Observance’ is more left-field and features Bartz’s alto heavily, whilst ‘Ardeche’ and the exotic ‘Elegy’ are atmospheric. ‘L’s Bop’ is fast paced and has a mid-60’s Blue Note feel. Great straight-ahead Jazz set.
