New York guitarist and jazz outsider presents his most intimate album yet.
______________________________________________________________________
Marc Ribot is known as the uncut diamond among guitarists: idiosyncratic, raw, and always surprising. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with icons like Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, and John Zorn. But this time, his own voice takes center stage. Literally. On Map of a Blue City, we hear Ribot as singer, guitarist, and storyteller. His voice is raw, his lyrics strike deep, you won’t hear Ribot more intimately than this.
The music scrapes and glides between genres like bossa nova, roots, noise, free jazz, and desert blues. The songs span a period of thirty years and bear the marks of time: lo-fi home recordings from the 1990s alternate with new material, in an album Ribot describes as his most complete artistic statement to date. Live, he presents this project in a duo with pianist/guitarist/drummer Shahzad Ismaily, a multi-instrumentalist known for his versatility and sensitivity and ‘the musicians’ favorite musician,’ according to The New York Times.
