    Wally Schnalle

    Jazz drummer and longtime Campbellite puts the South Bay on the jazz map


    The pace of the Wally Schnalle Quartet's show is fast and the jazz is most often furious and frenetic. Many tunes nearly drift into free-form improvisation, and even the occasional ballad crescendoes loudly as the pace quickens. From the back of the stage, behind the other musicians and his own instrument, Schnalle runs the show. He sets the pace, both musically and emotionally, putting feeling into the music. In his black jeans and black T-shirt, Schnalle, 42, exudes cool. With tricked out spectacles, shaved head and wide goatee, he looks like he could have just stepped out of City Lights Books after a reading of "Howl." But this is not a retro-hipster stuck in the past. As one of the Bay Area's hottest jazz musicians, Schnalle is helping to bring the South Bay up to speed with the jazz capital of the Left Coast, our way-hip cousin to the north.   More
