Jack Wright is a saxophonist in the Philadelphia area, one of the originals of American free improvisation, and still actively touring. Now 81, he lived some diverse lives, as activist and academic, until settling into music full-time in 1979--free playing is all he's done since then. Since the 80s he's been touring in Europe and the US, where he is still the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation," as guitarist Davey Williams called him. He started out in the free jazz direction, but increasingly found that boring and conventional. Shifting gears a few times he now plays what few have heard before--distorted pitches, precise timing, intrusive multiphonics, sudden changes of direction, obscene animalistic sounds, and occasional "real" notes. He partners and tours mostly with Zach Darrup, Ben Bennett, Evan Lipson, Patrick Crossland, and Ron Stabinsky. In 2017 he published The Free Musics, sold to most of the free players in the US and many in Europe. Since then he has released Shaky Ground, a book both personal and political, drawing on his activist and historian background.
