writer/performer of love songs that are mostly angst-free and done in the style of modern ragtime. A very high piano content.
The last jazz singer I got excited about was Stacy Kent and Wallace has that same soft, low key approach to ballads, in the Julie London camp of song delivery. I dig it. Here are some links to her music and work:
