SUMMARY:JAZZ ROOM Special Edition: A Miles Davis Centennial Celebration
DESCRIPTION:JAZZ ROOM Special Edition:  A Miles Davis Centennial Celebration Featuring The Wallace Roney Jr. Quartet\nApril 17th & 18th \nJoin us for this special bonus show as we celebrate Miles Davis. Trumpeter Wallace Roney Jr.\, son of the late jazz luminaries Wallace Roney and Geri Allen\, honors the legacy of Miles Davis in this centennial year celebration. With his dynamic quartet\, Roney Jr. explores the timeless music of Miles through a fresh\, modern lens\, blending reverence for the master with his own fearless improvisational voice. Presented during Jazz Appreciation Month\, this special JAZZ ROOM performance pays tribute to one of jazz’s greatest innovators. \nWallace Roney Jr. is an emerging force on today’s jazz scene. Known for his rich tone and fearless improvisation\, he has performed with artists including Buster Williams\, Lenny White\, and Brandee Younger. With deep roots in the trumpet tradition and a modern\, adventurous sound\, Roney Jr. is carrying forward his family’s legacy while forging a powerful artistic identity of his own. \nGrowing up surrounded by the sounds of jazz and melodies that filled every corner of his home\, Roney Jr. found his passion for the trumpet at an early age. Inspired by legendary players like Kenny Dorham\, Miles Davis\, Freddie Hubbard\, Woody Shaw\, and Lee Morgan\, he quickly developed an intense love for the craft. At just 10 years old\, his dedication to learning harmony and his eagerness to play led his father to gift him his very first trumpet—a moment that would set the stage for his musical journey. \nSince then\, Wallace Roney Jr. has graced stages alongside jazz luminaries such as Chick Corea\, Jimmy Heath\, Lenny White\, Buster Williams\, and the late Ornette Coleman. A proud graduate of the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, he continues to captivate audiences at venues across the U.S. and around the globe. Today\, Roney Jr. is one of the most sought-after trumpeters in the New York jazz scene\, known for his dynamic performances and deep understanding of the genre. \n  \nThe JAZZ ROOM provides a casual and intimate setting with tables and a full bar\, reminiscent of the classic jazz rooms of yesteryear. \nThank you to our JAZZ ROOM contributors: The City of Charlotte\, O’s Place Jazz\, North Carolina Arts Council and Akers Foundation.
