Faces to Watch in ’92 : These are the people Calendar’s critics and writers think you’ll be hearing about in 1992. In some cases, they’re familiar people who will experience a transitional year. Some are newcomers who could have a breakthrough year. : WALLACE RONEY

Trumpeter Wallace Roney, the jazz front-runner in the stakes for stardom next year, had all the advantages of a complete musical education--first with private teachers, then as a student at such respected institutions as Boston’s Berklee College of Music. Between studies at Berklee, he became a member of Art Blakey’s legendary Jazz Messengers, developing new ideas that earned him a prominent role in 1987 with the band of Miles Davis’ ex-drummer, Tony Williams. But his career reached a climactic point last summer when he was invited by Davis to join him in a historic horn duet at the jazz festival in Montreux, Switzerland. The Philadelphia native’s recorded work, heard with Blakey, Williams and in several albums on Muse Records under his own name, reveals a clean execution, intricately woven lines and an intense, exciting style reflecting the influences of such early idols as Davis, Lee Morgan and Woody Shaw.
