In-Store Performance, April 9, 2013:

  Squidco Presents:  The Wrest Trio

  Jack Wright (saxophone)
  Evan Lipson (bass)
  Ben Bennett (percussion)



The Wrest Trio is an experimental free-improvisation group comprised of Jack Wright (saxophone), Evan Lipson (bass), and Ben Bennett (percussion).

"Described twenty years ago as an 'undergrounder by design', Jack Wright is happy to inhabit the vast territory below the radar of the professional music world. Since 1979 he has been traveling through the US and Europe in search of interesting partners and playing situations, and open to whatever might happen. Now living in a small Pennsylvania town, at 70 he is still the 'Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation', as Davey Williams called him back in the 80s. And he is still inspiring players outside music-school careerdom. Whenever he plays today, all that he has traversed is present, from fiery, breathless free jazz to quiet, breath-filled, and often animalistic sounds. A reviewer for the Washington Post said, 'In the rarefied, underground world of experimental free improvisation, saxophonist Jack Wright is king'."
