| Marc Ribot at the Queen Elizabeth Hall Friday 10 November 2006, Spiritual Unity featuring Marc Ribot and special guest Henry Grimes will perform at the Queen Elizabeth Hall as one of the concerts of London Jazz Festival 2006. Jazz Festival audiences will be able to witness Ribot in various guises, the first of which is Spiritual Unity, featuring the recently re-discovered bassist Henry Grimes. Henry Grimes was a member of Albert Ayler and Cecil Taylor's band, before disappearing from the jazz scene in the late-1960s. He resurfaced and came to Ribot's attention and the two decided to form this project dedicated to the spirit of Albert Ayler's brand of hardcore free jazz. This show is sure tests the limits of extreme musical expression. Next day, Saturday 11 November 2006 at the Purcell Room you can see My Name is Albert Ayler, a screening of Kasper Collin's documentary film about saxophonist and iconoclast Albert Ayler, inspiration for Marc Ribot's Spiritual Unity project. The film is introduced and accompanied by Ayler's bassist Henry Grimes, in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Kevin LeGendre. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
