Jack Wright is one of the most interesting and exciting saxophonists playing in the USA today. Over the past several decades, his ceaseless quest for innovative avenues for potent expressive music have taken him through mainstream jazz, free jazz, the free improvisation of the 1970s, and beyond.

He has now joined a small group of players who are developing radically new languages for the saxophone. His startlingly intense playing uses a wide range of avant-garde techniques to produce music that is abstract and at times quiet in the extreme yet full of drama and an anguished striving for communication. "Whether he explores the innards of his saxes via split tones, pops, wails, or throaty whispers, Wright's often-fascinating excursions provide a venerable source of amazement"
