The man behind the unique guitar solos of Tom Waits, and the first person John Zorn and Elvis Costello call when they need a six-string, is finally back at Nattjazz - this time all alone. Marc Ribot has just turned 70, but is becoming more and more activist both on and off stage - whether it's jazz punk in Ceramic Dog or protest songs with Tom Waits and Meshell Ndegeocello on Songs of Resistance. Since last time, he has celebrated with Los Cubanos Postizos and brought bass legend Henry Grimes out of oblivion - now we get to experience a unique guitarist far out on the jazz spectrum, with a rebellious approach.

"Marc Ribot's singular approach to guitar compresses swathes of Americana into a full spectrum of jazz and stirs in a hefty dash of punk attitude." - Financial Times, 2023

“In the hear-a-pin-drop setting of Cafe Oto, Ribot's intense, heartfelt commitment invited not only the closest of listening but also allowed scrutiny of his technical approach, offering a minor spectacle as well as a rare, transportative musical experience. " - London Jazz News, review of his 2015 OTO residency

"...he can sit down with just his guitar and simultaneously confound you with technique, beauty, and surprise." - John Garratt and Will Layman, PopMatters Picks: The Best Music of 2010 for the album "Silent Movies."
