Cedric Wallace's most notable association was with the pianist/vocalist
Fats Waller; he frequently performed and recorded with
Waller from 1938-1942, a time during which the pianist enjoyed his greatest popular success. Upon moving to New York in the early '30s,
Wallace worked with a certain
Reggie Johnson at the Saratoga Club and played with bandleader
Jimmie Lunceford. During and after his time with
Waller,
Wallace played and recorded with singers
Una Mae Carlisle and
Maxine Sullivan, the R&B musician
Champion Jack Dupree, pianist
Pat Flowers, and saxophonist
Gene Sedric, among others.
Wallace also led his own groups around New York in the '40s. He remained musically active into the '70s. ~ Chris Kelsey
