Wallace Roneys No Room for Argument is about heritage, mentors, wisdom,
responsibility, and spirituality. This CD is packed with excellent
straight-ahead, avant-garde, and free jazz that also features samples from
speeches given by Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and audio by Deepak
Chopra. Roneys evolved, imaginative use of his muted trumpet to achieve the
meditative and philosophical concepts inherent in the opener No Room for
Argument is accomplished effectively. Roney weaves its sound into the well-known
orations delivered by King and Malcolm X, giving each note a new design that
offers his solution to the challenges of performing respected works in a new
medium. His mentor piece, an arrangement and direction of Homage &
Acknowledgement, a vital rework featuring the duality of the great Buster
Williams at work on the bassline for John Coltranes A Love Supreme, and Roneys
interpretation of the trumpet sounds of Miles Davis on Filles de Kilimanjaro is
a exceptional seven-minute masterwork that supplies both the spiritual depth and
insistent ground rhythms inherent in the original recordings of the 60s. Virtual
Chocolate Cherry is a boundless arena for the world-class drummer Lenny White.
He makes a very strong impression and his very presence on this CD serves to
further the respect Roney has for the lasting mark on his playing on this CD --
the open sound of the 60s that Lenny White helped Miles Davis to initiate. He
gives his Gretsch a workout tempered by excellent solos from Geri Allen and Adam
Holzman. This CD is a great one and shows Roney as a leading jazz
trumpeter.~Paula Edelstein
