MARC R1B0T - PLAYS S0L0 GU1TAR W0RKS BY FRANTZ CASSEUS (1993)

After making some initial recordings of his teacher's compositions in the mid 80s, Ribot perfected his F. Casseus repertoire for this masterpiece. For his part, Casseus was fueled by the dreams of his esteemed Haitian countryman Aimé Césaire to give voice to a contemporary national sense of identity. Ribot plays these charming works with restraint, grace and evident love and admiration. A warm album--soft, lilting and infused with Carribean breeziness.

Dream the dream...

  1. An unknown facet of Marc Ribot. It's far from his work with John Zorn!!
    Thank you Asger for unveiling this music.
