John Bruce Wallace in concert
John Bruce Wallace is an American composer and improvisational guitarist.[1]
Biography
John Bruce Wallace was born February 6, 1950, in Calais, Maine. His improvised compositions often incorporate multi-tonal qualities, dense, interwoven passages embellished with harmonic and micro-tonal sound.[2] Tours have included festivals in Russia and Lithuania, at the Vilnius Jazz Festival.[3][4]
In a 1994 review of Wallace's improvisational album Loud Noises in a Corner: Engagements on Urban Terrain, Mark Jenkins wrote in Washington City Paper Wallace "is a lot less predictable than that of many guitar warriors, and the best of it has a savage beauty that Eddie Van Halen couldn't achieve with six months of overdubs."[5]
