Trumpeter Wallace Roney first came to prominence in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the early 1980s. Later in the 1980s and early 1990s, Roney was an integral part of Tony Williams's quintet. In 1991, Roney played with Miles Davis at the Montreux Jazz Festival. After Davis's passing that year, Roney toured in memoriam with Davis alumni Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Williams and recorded an album, 'A Tribute to Miles,' for which they won a Grammy.
