WALLACE RONEY JR

NUBLU / NEW YORK, NY / FEBRUARY 9

Trumpeter Wallace Roney Jr brings a forward-leaning, rhythm-centered approach to Nublu, reflecting a lineage that honors tradition while pushing toward new forms. Drawing from jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary groove, Wallace’s music emphasizes feel, texture, and collective momentum rather than solo hierarchy. His trumpet voice is agile and modern, moving easily between sharp articulation and atmospheric color. At Nublu, the focus shifts to interaction—beats, bass lines, and harmonic fragments lock into cycles that evolve organically over the course of a set. Roney represents a new generation of artists fluent in jazz language but unconstrained by its historical presentation, creating music designed for listening, movement, and immersion.
