Marc Ribot Ceramic Dog: Your Turn
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se n'è stato buono buono nella cuccia per cinque anni il cane di ceramica, attendendo con pazienza che i padroncini Ches Smith, Shazad Ismaily e Marc Ribot si decidessero a sfornare il seguito del fulminante Party Intellectuals. Vero: i tre l'hanno portato a spasso per il mondo di tanto in tanto, allentando il guinzaglio e facendogli sgranchire le zampe. Eppure stava cominciando a sorgere il dubbio che l'opera prima fosse destinata a rimanere anche l'ultima. Perché? Perché cinque anni sono ...

by Troy Collins
Five years have passed since the release of Party Intellectuals, the 2008 Pi Recordings debut of Ceramic Dog, a power trio led by legendary Downtown guitarist Marc Ribot. Much has changed in the ensuing years, including the recording industry--a subject fervently addressed on Your Turn, the ensemble's eclectic sophomore effort. Railing against capitalism and consumerism with equal vigor, Ceramic Dog blends post-punk rebellion with the sonic liberation of free jazz, finding catharsis in-between genres. Ribot's role as an ...

David Hidalgo and Marc RibotThe Flynn Center for the Performing ArtsBurlington, VTJanuary 26, 2013It was indicative of the engagement of the near sold-out audience at The Flynn on January 26, 2013 that, with one word of encouragement from guitarist/vocalist David Hidalgo, its handclapping kept a (fairly) steady rhythm going for the duration of his and fellow guitarist Marc Ribot's spunky take on Los Lobos' “The Neighborhood."And it was Hidalgo's tease of the lyrics ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Semmai Wim Wenders tornasse sulla scena di un nuovo Lisbon Story non troverebbe ad attenderlo Teresa Salgueiro e i suoi Madredeus, ma questi strani musicisti dall'aria minacciosa e per niente raccomandabile. Un becchino e un gangster, più o meno. Si ha ragione a definire Tó Trips e Pedro Gonçalves due personaggi usciti fuori da un comic book dalle tinte dark. E per restare in tema di citazioni cinematografiche non sarebbero affatto dispiaciuti a Quentin Tarantino. Dopo una serie fortunata (soprattutto ...

Marc Ribot Spiritual Unity Trio Bishopsgate Institute London, EnglandOctober 28, 2011 Guitarist Marc Ribot's Spiritual Unity trio, featuring bassist/violinist Henry Grimes and drummer Chad Taylor, brought down the house at the Bishopsgate Institute in London on Friday, October 28, 2011. Near the beginning of a whirlwind European tour, the trio performed a joyously eclectic selection of numbers that covered a pantheistic array of musical disciplines, from the 1960s love cry of Albert Ayler to the ...

by Enrique Turpin
Este trabajo debería haberse titulado Blind Movies (Películas ciegas), según confiesa el propio guitarrista en el texto de presentación del disco. Hubiese sido un gran acierto, a pesar del oxímoron al que remite. Y es que el recorrido por estas piezas --todos de la autoría de Marc Ribot, salvo el estándar Sous le Ciel de Paris-- sugiere imágenes de mayor calado visual que muchos de los filmes que llegan a nuestras pantallas. De hecho, la proyección de secuencias que trae ...

Marc Ribot, Spiritual Unity: The Legacy and Music of Albert AylerThe Cleveland Museum of ArtCleveland, OHMarch 19, 2011 Guitarist Marc Ribot's performance with his Spiritual Unity quartet, at the Cleveland Museum of Art, was the culmination of a three-evening nod to celebrated avant-gardist, and Cleveland native, Albert Ayler. Two days earlier, the museum screened Kasper Collin's 2007 documentary film on the saxophonist, My Name is Albert Ayler, and a panel discussion on Ayler's music ...
