Cause and Effect: November 11, 2023 - Marc Ribot
Music
Marc Ribot
Today we explore the music and influence of fabulous NYC polyglot Marc Ribot.
Probably best known as a stalwart member of the downtown Jazz scene populated by John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Fred Frith, and other such weirdos, Ribot has a huge catalog of music ranging from Haitian classical guitar to Albert Ayler style free jazz. He has also worked as a side man on far too many projects to reflect in 2 hours time.
We'll spend some time on his influences and his peers, but will devote most of the show to his own recordings as a solo musician, band leader, and side man.
Enjoy!
