Max Roach Plus 4, Discs 2 and 3

I'm interested in learning more about pianist Billy Wallace. Anybody? He does some nice comping and sort of Cedar Walton type percussion stacatto runs on the keyboard featured at the end of Disc 1 and beginning of Disc 2 in this set. I know he's on the Brown/Roach at the Beehive, which I love for its explosive jamming, but most of what I've found audible on my LP of that set is the drums and trumpet. According to the Penguin Guide, he also plays on "Fantastic Frank Strozier" (Vee Jay), but I don't have that one.

If you use the search function & use keywords +billy +wallace, you'll find a fair amount of information/comments on Mr. Wallace.

Thanks! I tried that before but it kept failing. This satisfies me: Billy Wallace

NP: Hank Mobley Fifties Sessions Disc 1--classic

The Buck Clayton box - from LP1 side a on... just about wrapping up "Christopher Columbus" - holy smokes, this stuff swings like mad! (<< Jo Jones!!!)

Beautiful solos by Lem Davis, Julian Dash (that fellow is good!), the trumpet players (Joe Newman, next to Buck), and lots of smokin' trombone, courtesy of Bennie Green, Henderson Chambers, and Urbie Green... then there's Sir Charles Thompson, and then quite a surprise each time I pop in some of these LPs, Charlie Fowlkes' baritone - beautiful sound, and quite lovely solos, provided he was just a section player during all the years he spent with the Count!
