Q& A With Wallace Roney

by Tad Hendrickson

trumpeter of unsurpassed poise and energy, Wallace Roney has a beautiful sound that recalls such giants as Miles A Davis and Clifford Brown. While he’s sometimes has these comparisons thrust upon him (as we just did), JazzWeek has managed to get through this Q&A not mentioning either trumpet legend, though Roney did cite Davis in passing. We caught up to him at his and wife Geri Allen’s home in Montclair, New Jersey. JW: Prototype is typically the first of a new model. Is that the case with this record? WR: No. It’s from an Outkast song [from Speak- boxxx/The Love Below]. The words go: “I hope that you’re the one/If not you’re the prototype.” It’s a love song. Is that what you tell your wife? She’s better than the prototype. She’s the prototype and she’s the one. How did the recording process of the album go? We did the whole thing in a day, as usual. Sometimes it’s a day, sometimes it’s three. Some people take a year or six months. If you give me six months you’re gonna have about 20 records. You mention of the term “sci-fying” in the liner notes. Could you elaborate what that means? You read the novels and the comics they got now, which are more like sci-fi books. And it makes you wonder: “What’s it gonna be like in 40 years from now. I wonder what this music is going to sound like then.” Then your imagination and reality warps itself and then the music feels like it’s coming from some- Wallace Roney’s latest – Prototype – on HighNote. where else. jazzweek.com • November 19, 2004 JazzWeek 9 Wallace Roney Q&A continued

What are you into? Movies? TV? Books? I’m into the comics. The Legion of Superheroes. People from the 31st Century. But music, to me, is deeper than that. It’s more real. It’s your imagination and creativity and there is nothing more real than that. What’s the meaning of title for “Quadrant 329-4-526”? That’s “Quadrant 429-4-526,” it’s a typo. I can’t tell you. It’s a secret. The band really does something different with Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” I waited for you to ask me that. I knew you would. “What I’m talking It wasn’t my first question! about are bands I know, but people always ask: why pick it. It’s like “Embraceable You” – why pick that where you get song. The only difference is that a Black together every photo: John Abbott man wrote that song. It’s a tune; it’s great. Al Green; the Gershwins. It’s don’t mat- night and play ter, they are both great tunes. You just pick the beauty of the melody when you chose together. That’s a song. when the music So what’s up next with you? evolves.” The same thing. I don’t ever really think of a next. I just keep touring and try and put more of my music down, capturing what I’m writing all the time because the music is evolving. That to me is the artistic part of recording – to capture where you are at a certain moment. The commercial side is the support to help you do tours, but the artistic side is the growth and evolution of where you are as an artist. Your band sounds hot. Is that what you’re focused on these days? Definitely now that Tony [Williams] is gone. Maybe if Herbie wants to do something, only real special stuff. You want to develop your band. That’s what Trane and Miles and Art Blakey did to make the music grow. That is where the music really lies. All-star bands don’t really develop the music -- it’s more just like getting people together. What I’m talking about are bands where you get together every night and play together. That’s when the music evolves. JW jazzweek.com • November 19, 2004 JazzWeek 10 Transitioning to Mediaguide: Some Questions and Answers by Ed Trefzger, Editor
