New band led by guitar and jazz outsider from New York, known from his previous collaborations with John Zorn and Tom Waits.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marc Ribot is known as the uncut diamond among guitarists: idiosyncratic, raw, and always surprising. His new band bears traces of his whole career, but particularly the exploratory energy of his beloved formation Spiritual Unity, with which he reimagined the exuberant gospel jazz of Albert Ayler. Drummer Chad Taylor, who played in that band and is known from Chicago Underground Duo, is part of the new group alongside bassist Sebastian Steinberg, with whom Ribot has collaborated since the 1980s. Saxophonist Briggan Krauss adds the combustible extra ingredient.
Marc Ribot moved to New York to play jazz with veteran organist Jack McDuff, but soon found his calling in the no-holds-barred No Wave scene. He threw out the rules, joined The Lounge Lizards, and accepted Tom Waits’ invitation to play on the album Rain Dogs. Since then, he has been an indispensable collaborator to the likes of John Zorn, Elvis Costello and so many others that his list of credits reads like a library’s card catalog. But Ribot has also been a great bandleader, from his committed Latin band, Los Cubanos Postizos to his renegade bunch Ceramic Dog, with which he has played sold out shows on our stage.
