Prototype is an album by trumpeter/composer Wallace Roney which was recorded in 2004 and released on the HighNote label.

[1] On All About Jazz, John Kelman noted "Roney has chosen a starting point for his music—that of the transitional Miles period of Nefertiti through Filles de Kilimanjaro — and steadfastly evolved the idea, incorporating contemporary technologies and rhythms, painting a picture of where Miles might have gone had he been more evolutionary than revolutionary ... Prototype continues to evolve Roney's conception of jazz, one that successfully combines inarguable roots with a more contemporary view, incorporating a diversity of influences into a blend where the fundamental notion is that of freedom, but, like Miles before him, with a clearly-defined rhythmic and harmonic basis".

... Maybe now jaded listeners will look beyond Roney’s association with Miles Davis and appreciate him for his own ideas".

[5] The Observer's Dave Gelly said " This CD uses elements of hip hop, electronics and even turntables without sacrificing the immediacy and individuality of jazz performance.

His playing has a poise and assurance that few can match, while his band supports him admirably".
