Overview

The Standard Bearer is the third album by American jazz trumpeter Wallace Roney which was recorded in 1989 and released on the Muse label early the following year. Reception The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Roney's The Standard Bearer (dedicated to Woody Shaw) is excellent. ... Creative frameworks and inspired solos keep this recording from being just a bop revival session. In fact, except for Roney's sound, everything about the music is quite fresh".
