Save The Date - Luglio 2015
by Luca Canini
Dopo la vacanza forzata di giugno, organizzata all'ultimo vista la sconfortante carenza di spunti degni di nota, torna Save The Date, l'agenda mensile di All About Jazz dedicata agli appuntamenti imperdibili. Non che ci aspetti un luglio memorabile, ma qua e là, setacciando cartelloni e programmi, qualche concerto da cerchiare in rosso lo si trova. Prima però una piccola rimostranza. La Compagnia di San Paolo, fondazione bancaria tra le più vetuste e danarose a livello nazionale, ha sforbiciato dal bando ...

by John Ephland
Yours truly is truly ashamed to be reporting on this recording at such a late date. That said, Marc Ribot: Live At The Village Vanguard is the kind of recording that, if you weren't, makes you wish you were there. Yes, it's a Live at the V-squared, which may remind you of other now-celebrated recordings at that famous V-shaped cathouse. In this case, it's particularly notable because of three ingredients: the setting (already mentioned), the artists, and, number ...

Marc Ribot Trio Jazz in Eden Nuovo Eden 13.11.2014 Di Albert Ayler ce n'è sempre stato parecchio nella musica di Marc Ribot. Forse non tutti se n'erano accorti, ma già prima del disco manifesto Spiritual Unity, uscito nel 2005, la fatale attrazione per il sassofonista di Cleveland aveva fatto capolino qua e là sotto le sembianze di omaggi discreti e obliqui richiami. Un amore totale quello di Ribot per Ayler, un'ossessione dichiarata che soprattutto ...

by Troy Collins
Renowned Downtown guitarist Marc Ribot has performed with everyone from famed roots producer T Bone Burnett to avant-garde legend John Zorn. Ribot's own efforts as a bandleader have been equally eclectic, ranging from the freewheeling Latin jazz excursions of Los Cubanos Postizos to the Albert Ayler-inspired no wave assault of Shrek. In 2004 Ribot formed Spiritual Unity, a quartet dedicated to exploring Ayler's legacy, with trumpeter Roy Campbell, drummer Chad Taylor and most significantly, bassist Henry Grimes, who (prior to ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Playing and recording at New York's Village Vanguard is often seen as a sign of ascendancy in the jazz world. For some, the honor is bestowed early on; for others, it comes at a more mature stage; and for a third group, it comes even further down the road. Guitarist Marc Ribot is part of that third group. This protean rabble-rouser has been an important part of New York's artistic landscape for decades, contributing to the music ...

by Mark Corroto
It had been 16,631 days since bassist Henry Grimes had last played music at New York's infamous Village Vanguard. His performance, with saxophonist Albert Ayler, on December 18, 1966 was recorded and released as In Greenwich Village (Impulse!, 1967). Back after 45 years, 6 months, and 12 days, the bassist, now part of guitarist Marc Ribot's Trio with drummer Chad Taylor, revisited the musical revolution Ayler instigated in the 1960s. Ribot's music, since its origins with John Lurie's ...
