Jazz in Old Lyme

Wallace Roney has been blowing away music lovers and mentors alike since he was 16. One of his most important and meaningful relationship was with the great Miles Davis.

Wallace was mentored by Miles Davis after Miles heard him in 1983 at his birthday gala performance at Carnegie Hall. Miles chose Wallace to share the stage at his historic performance at Montreux in 1991. After Davis died, Wallace toured the world in tribute along with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams and Ron Carter.

Wallace will play The SideDoor at Old Lyme Inn on Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for cocktails. Tickets are $40. Find out more online at www.thesidedoorjazz.com and on facebook at: www.facebook.com/thesidedoorjazzclub
