COREY A. WALLACE

TROMBONE

As a freelance trombonist, I have been hired for national/international performances and tours (music, musical theatre, tv/film) and recordings for my musicianship, soloing/improvising ability, big band/small group experience, orchestral experience, horn section work, sight reading, leadership, remote recording, and my strong grasp and knowledge of various styles of music. I’ve performed with different artists, groups, and acts 15+ years, spanning multiple genres including Jazz, Gospel, Classical, Pop, R&B/Soul, Hip Hop, Heavy Metal, Folk, and more. As an artist and educator, I am committed to the integrity of the music people refer to as Jazz - to Black American Music and the cultures from which the many sub and neighboring genres arose. It is of the utmost importance to "get it right" and to be a conduit in this lineage of music, but to also represent and contribute what is "right now" so that the music and culture isn’t a caricature of itself. Upholding the tradition, and continuing to move forward with integrity. It is with the profound care and integrity that I approach any and every culture’s music. As artists, we use the colors of culture to paint the canvas of tomorrow; not to force them to run together, but to show the truth, beauty, and story of each hue.
