Marc
Ribot was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1954. As a teenager
he studied with classical guitarist/composer Frantz Casseus, and
immediately applied his studies by playing in various New Jersey
garage bands. Moving to New York City in 1978, Mr. Ribot worked
as a side man with musicians such as jazz organist Jack McDuff
and soul singer Wilson Pickett. He also joined the Stax/Volt
oriented Realtones/Uptown Horns Band, who from 1979 through 1983
served as a NY pick-up band for performers Chuck Berry, Carla
Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Solomon Burke, and others.
From 1984 through 1989, Ribot toured and recorded with John
Lurie's Lounge Lizards. Dialectically engaging elements of blues
tradition with the no-wave aesthetic attention of Tom Waits,
Elvis Costello, and other "partecipants in/escapees
from" the rock scene with whom he worked on various
projects. Concurrent with these events, Ribot maintained an
interest in NYC new music, and has performed and/or recorded with
Peter Zummo, Peter Kotik, Elliot Sharp, Anthony Coleman, John Zorn, The Jazz Passengers and Evan Lurie. As a
composer of music for his own recordings, it is these
"downtown" influences that are perhaps the most
pronounced, yet Mr. Ribot still prefers to think of himself as a
soulmusician.
