Bhob Rainey and Jack Wright: Signs of Life - CD

The idiosyncratic saxophonistics of Rainey and Wright fuse a freakish alchemical bond.  Here they appear in a deliciously sparse duo and in two trios each with Matt Ingalls (clarinets) and Tom Djll (trumpet).  Severely under-recorded, Ingalls and Djll are agile companions in these mercurial tracks of percussive clatter and orchestral tone-clusters reminiscent of early AACM recordings or some lost score of John Cage.  Recorded live in the San Francisco Bay Area in February 2000.
