With the passing of one of Dayton, Ohio's precious Jazz GIANTS, Pianist/Composer Khalid Moss, in 2022, Mike Wade, Bandleader of the Ohio-based Jazz combo Standard Time, has decided to pay homage to the one band that brought the two of them together, The Standard Time Quintet. The band will feature original members Francis Wyatt on Drums, Eric Sayer on Bass, Craig Williams on Percussion from St. Louis, and joining the band for the Tribute is "Special Guest & former Band member" Matt Green on Piano from Las Vegas and Eric Wurzelbacher in Saxophones.
During his career, Mike Wade was named one of the top ten unsigned jazz brass players, as rated by Jazziz Magazine (1997). His composition, “Blues for Shorty Bop,” was chosen for inclusion in the Jazziz on Disc collection. He has performed and/or recorded with such artists as David “Fathead” Newman, Clark Terry, Javon Jackson, Bobby Watson, Gary Bartz, Mulgrew Miller, Rene Marie, Don Braden, and Steve Wilson.
Steve Wilson has said of Mike, “Mike Wade has secured his place among the legacy of great trumpeters…people get ready!” Mulgrew Miller has said of Mike, “Mike Wade is a very exciting and creative jazz trumpeter. He is also a very charismatic bandleader. He is dedicated and ambitious. It was a pleasure to play with him”.
Craig Bailey has said of Mike, “Mike Wade is one the most inspiring musicians of the new millennium. He has the fire and energy that it takes to be a great leader as well as a great artist. His hustle ability on and off the horn will take him to many new horizons. He is a name not to forget and a trumpet player not to miss.”
