Bennie Wallace

Chattanooga-born tenor man Bennie Wallace pairs a big, raspy tone with daring leaps, rooted in Coleman Hawkins and Sonny Rollins. Since arriving in New York in 1971 he has recorded for Enja and Blue Note, played with Ray Anderson and Buddy Rich, and scored Ron Shelton films like White Men Can't Jump.
