Narrative:
Phx tower cleared us for takeoff on runway 7L; and maintain visual separation from a departing airbus 321. The takeoff roll was normal and we lifted off without any problems. On climb out; after acceleration altitude; with the aircraft cleaned up and climbing on climb thrust; the aircraft was rocked by wake turbulence from the airbus ahead of us. The aircraft rolled to the right; passed 45 degrees bank; then lurched back to the left 45 degrees. The aircraft stabilized after the wake encounter without loss of altitude or directional control; and we continued without any further incident.
