Marc Ribot & Spiritual Unity concert at moCa Cleveland

This past November marked 40 years since the untimely death of the ecstatic jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler (born in Cleveland), a major figure in the history of music. The legacy of his music and philosophy resounds not only in the jazz canon, but also in the American avant-garde, across European free improvisation, Asian electronic music, rock and punk music, and beyond. Ayler’s magnum opus, "Spiritual Unity," is the touchstone event celebrating this music and what came after. The concert on March 18th features guitarist Marc Ribot's aptly named band Spiritual Unity, with original Ayler collaborator Henry Grimes (bass and violin), Roy Campbell, Jr. (trumpets) and Chad Taylor (drums). http://www.clevelandart.org/, http://tinyurl.com/3379jh5, [email protected]. ...
