The versatile New York guitar hero, who has played everything from punk to classical, has an extensive and enviable resume, playing on records by Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall, among many others. He’s been a member of various groups, including the Lounge Lizards and currently Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog and the Young Philadelphians. He’s also made more than two dozen albums under his own name. This week, he’s doing four gigs with the Jazz-Bins, which features Greg Lewis on Hammond B3 organ and Joe Dyson on drums. Although he might end up in surprising and perhaps experimental musical directions, a Ribot gig is always an adventure worth undertaking. (STAR TRIBUNE)
