Meridian Music presents a rare solo appearance by Jack Wright of Easton Pennsylvania, performing on alto and soprano saxophones. Jack went from university teaching in the late sixties, to political activism, to saxophone playing at the turn of the eighties. Music transformed his politics as he toured widely in the US and Europe in the eighties, an underground legend, which got him the moniker, the "Johnny Appleseed of Improvised Music." He is known to play sessions with everyone, but also to be highly demanding of his own playing. He returned to European touring in 2001, and his music shifted from his earlier free jazz expressionism to largely non-saxophone sound, timbre and broken spaces, expressive in a new way. His regular visits to the Bay area began in 1982, playing with and inspiring his many partners here over the years, the most prominent of whom is Bob Marsh. He returns once again to put fresh thought and feeling into musical form.
