soaring lyrics and irresistible grooves reminiscent of Swiss Beats jamming with
Olatunji and Miles Davis. In 1999, Sean Noonan (drum set/drum machine)
collaborated with the Senegalese bassist/vocalist Thierno Camara mixing melodies
and carefully crafted lyrics. Guitarist Jon Madof creates vibrant textures and
harmonic colors that provide a rich and open sound. The musical friendship they
hold is evident when listening to their debut album Look.

Marc Ribot continues to explore the ever-changing terrain of New York’s New
Music scene, working with musicians such as Arto Lindsay, Don Byron, Anthony
Coleman, T-Bone Burnett, the Jazz Passengers, Evan Lurie, the Sun Ra Arkestra,
Chocolate Genius, Bill Frisell, Medeski Martin & Wood, and John Zorn in any
number of incarnations.

Marc has composed and recorded his own brand of Downtown soul music with his
bands, Rootless Cosmopolitans and Shrek. In 1996 he recorded

Don’t Blame Me, which found a solo Ribot reinventing a number of
American standards. In 1998 Atlantic Records released the critically acclaimed

Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos, featuring Ribot’s beautifully
slanted interpretations of material by the great Cuban songwriter Arsenio
Rodriguez.

Recent musical scores by Marc Ribot include Yoshiko Chuma’s Altogether
Different dance piece, a documentary film by Greg Feldman titled Joe
