Few guitarists can cite the wide range of collaborations of Marc Ribot. From Tom Waits to John Zorn; from Wilson Pickett to Elvis Costello; from Don Byron to David Sylvian, Ribot's distinctive yet wide-reaching approach can be heard on hundreds of recordings.
His own output as a leader may be smaller but is equally diverse, ranging from the Cuban-informed The Prosthetic Cubans to his recent Spiritual Unity, where he puts a unique spin on the music of Albert Ayler.
AAJ Contributing Editor Paul Olson had the chance to speak with Ribot recently, and the result, Marc Ribot: That's the Way I View It from New York, finds Ribot in a particularly chatty and insightful mood.
