MARC RIBOT (SOLO)
Tuesday 17 March 2015 2015
Semi-seated concertEnigmatic guitarist Marc Ribot has released 6 very diverse solo guitar albums: (including John Zorn’s Book of Heads, Plays the Works of Frantz Casseus, Saints, Don’t Blame Me, Exercises in Futility) and his latest release, Silent Movies (Pi Recording 2010) has been described as a "down-in-mouth-near master piece" by the Village Voice and has landed on several Best of 2010 lists including the LA Times and critical praise across the board. His live solo performances are unpredictable events which may draw on all of these or none, creating a sonic matrix of memory, free improvisation, zeitgeist, extra-terrestrial radio signals, and much more...always leaving the listener on the edge of their seats."...he can sit down with just his guitar and simultaneously confound you with technique, beauty, and surprise."- John Garratt and Will Layman, PopMatters Picks: The Best Music of 2010 for the album "Silent Movies"Marc Ribot, brought to you by ProJazz and Paard van Troje.
