Two decades have passed since Bennie Wallace burst onto the international jazz scene with his award-winning debut release, "The Fourteen Bar Blues" (on ENJA) that established the young tenorist as a genuine original and a force to be reckoned with. His was a style that acknowledged the inspiration of such saxophone giants as Lester Young, Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins and Eric Dolphy, yet in a setting so fresh, so personal and so individualistic that it made Wallace the most recognizeable voice on tenor in the 80s. Discovering in Wallace's music "everything lacking in Sonny Rollins' present work," New York Arts Journal called him "the most important reed player since Dolphy's and Coleman's startling work in the early sixties." Following Wallace's debut, he recorded sterling collaborations with a wide-ranging assortment of luminaries, including Tommy Flanagan, Chick Corea, John Scofield, Dave Holland, Ray Anderson, Elvin Jones, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Dr. John.
In recent years, Wallace started a second career as a successful film composer. He wrote the music for "Blaze" (featuring Paul Newman), "White Men Can't Jump", "Bull Durham", "Spitfire Strings", and many more films. Yet after ten years in Hollywood, Bennie Wallace now left California eager to re-conquer the jazz stages of the world. Inspired by the Gershwin centennial in 1998, Wallace found Gershwin's tunes an ideal choice for his explosive lyricism on the tenor and dedicated this comeback album entirely to them. "Bennie Wallace is a modernist who under-stands the past," Downbeat read in January 1999. "(...) With his gigantic, up-from-the-guts tenor saxophone sound, he is unmistakably at home in an earlier milieu's romanticism. But Wallace's methods - his slanting inflections and asymmetrical phrasing and tendency to state a melody through essential fragments - create tensions that pull against the quaint spirit of his vintage material." Featuring a brilliant All-American rhythm section and including some rarely heard Gershwin tunes and several unusual arrangements (check out the West African groove in "It Ain't Necessarily So"), "Someone To Watch Over Me" (produced by audiophile wizard Joe Harley) is a Gershwin tribute meant for eternity. |
