"Here the perpetual motion keyboard machine easily matches the aviary crowing, prolonged reed trills, trenchant growls and split second flutter tonguing Wright uses for note delivery. Other times as the saxophonist makes a solo out of single-note slap tonguing and sonorous vibratos, the pianist responds with left-handed palm clusters on one side of the box and right-handed finger tinkles on the other, eventually smashing out intense chords as Wright harshly probes the stratosphere." --Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly

"With much admiration, I have followed the very uncompromising career of saxophonist Jack Wright. His music is heady, intellectual, coarse music/anti-music... Where Jack Wright excels is in his interplay with other musicians. On Clang, Jack finds his most sympathetic partner to date...Falesch’s influence spurs Wright’s playing into new territory. His horn flows most freely here, laying down note-upon-note of beauty." -- Mark Corroto, All About Jazz

"Jack Wright and Bob Falesch are perfect partners... Clang is a splendid example of the free-style sax/piano duo, the sort of British-style meeting in which experienced and technically advanced players listen carefully to each other and harness considerable resources to produce something of lasting value...Not to be overlooked, Clang is a rewarding excursion that features two major talents in prime form." --Steven Loewy, AllMusic.com

"...The closing Clang 2 is the perfect end to one of the most rich and satisfying improv albums for a long time." -- Dan WARBURTON, Paris TransAtlantic

"This is an improv work with staying power...sustenance that will stick to yer' bones. Eight wonderful compositions, great work from two masters... an absolutely great CD!" --Rotcod Zzaj
