Verses (album)


Verses is the debut album by American jazz trumpeter Wallace Roney, recorded in 1987 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The Los Angeles Times said that Roney's "muted solo on Bill Evans' 'Blue in Green' and his infectious explorations on a blues called 'Float' show where he is heading."
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "The music is essentially advanced hard bop, with Roney as usual often sounding a bit tonewise like his hero Miles Davis".
