Press Quotes

"...a CD that has to be considered essential in the lexicon of creative improvised African-American music." - Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

"Mississippi-born and Cleveland-raised tenorman Frank Wright (1935-1990) was one of the forerunners of the multiphonics-driven school of saxophonists to follow the direction pointed by Ayler, but with a more pronounced bar-walking influence than most of his contemporaries." - Clifford Allen, All About Jazz
