Drummer-bandleader Wally Schnalle has been an important force in advanced jazz of northern California since the mid-1990s. He graduated from San Jose State University, recorded early on with <a href="spotify:artist:70bFMUJ4a0G6Tqn8xxBYai">Francis Wong</a> and performed with the Nova Vista and San Jose Symphonies. In 1994 Schnalle recorded his debut set as a leader (for the small Tree Fort label) and he soon formed a regularly working quintet although the drummer had been leading groups on and off since 1989. Schnalle's quintet (which included <a href="spotify:artist:60P5oiKhXp9n3fHoW4T5a4">Dann Zinn</a> on tenor and trumpeter John Worley) appeared at the Monterey Jazz Festival, recorded for Retlaw in 1997 and played often in northern California. In addition to his work as a drummer/leader, Schnalle has been the music editor for the International Drum! magazine and has been active as a teacher. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
