Signs of Life
   Jack Wright (saxophones)
   Bhob Rainey (soprano saxophone)
   Matt Ingalls (clarinet)
   Tom Djll (trumpet)

A series of five recordings made on one of Wright's infamous tours with Bhob Rainey in which they encountered various musicians.  This cd is a collection of trios with Wright, Rainey and Ingalls or Djll.   As one would expect from these masters of the improv, they renounce all trademark cliches and ostentation in favor of a unified sound and vulnerability.

Comes highly recommended.
