Allmusic[4]

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "John Wright, who is now quite obscure, recorded five albums during 1960-62 that emphasized the souful side of hard bop. ... Wright performs seven of his originals, all of which have something to do with Chicago ... Wright plays soulfully while swinging".[4]

gollark: Why would we distribute microchips via vaccines? That would be very obvious. They self-assemble out of bits in food and larger airborne particulates.
