Press Reviews "...peddling a peppy brand of instrumental sax-, bass-, and gat-jazz which they term 'De-Bop,' The Tone Deaf Wallys play nice, happy-go-lucky fair sure to have you bouncing your knee against the underside of the table."-The Rocket (Seattle)"The Tone Deaf Wallys promise a brand of jazz that is nothing near the mellow, coffee-sipping kind. The band gets audiences moving with it's snappy, swing-based originals and covers of Monk, Brubeck, Coltrane, and others."-The Downtown Source (Seattle)
