Bennie Wallace

Description:

Benny Wallace, a modern-day tenor titan, is said to have replaced Thelonious Monk's jazz technique on the tenor with a bold and uninhibited brogue! Enja's Matthias Winkelmann discovered Wallace in the 1980s and 1990s, when he burst onto the scene with his wild charm, and again in the 2000s, when he made a comeback to the jazz scene after working as a film musician in Hollywood and released a series of standard albums. This is Benny Wallace's premium best work, featuring selected masterpieces on two discs!
