I think outdoor house concerts -
and concerts presented or underwritten by nonprofits, such as Bay Area
Jazzmobile and Jazz In the
Neighborhood - as well as Freight & Salvage
and SFJAZZ are
going to be the way forward for some time, especially for jazz
and other music with limited commercial appeal.
If you want to hire my band for a house concert - or are a nonprofit interested in presenting or underwriting jazz performances, please contact me.
My band returns to Roxx on Main in Martinez. We'll be INDOORS for this show, as it's now cold out at night.
The
restaurant serves food
until 9 PM and there is
a full bar. Make
reservations by calling 925-370-7699 - Roxx is a popular
place.
videos - we have a YouTube Channel
Curious what you missed last time at The Freight & Salvage? Check out our YouTube channel. It features a bunch of performances from our Freight & Salvage shows.
interviews of Kurt Ribak
These video interviews were made by Lincoln
Adler - www.LincolnAdler.com.
Lincoln plays with us often and is the
saxophonist of Times
4, the jazz-funk group Greg
Sankovich also plays in.
Kurt's
ability to take you on a journey
from the deepest waters of the
Caribbean to the funky alleys of the
urban jungle in one listening makes
him a truly gifted original in my
book." - Chris Cortez,
KCSM FM announcer

SFJAZZ
Some nice press
about us from SFJAZZ:
“Joyous,” “grooving,” “bluesy,”
“sophisticated,” and “masterful” could all be
accurately used to describe bassist and
composer Kurt Ribak’s music, but perhaps an
assessment is best left to the man himself,
who calls his rollicking mix of bebop
sophistication and body-moving grooves
“Charles Mingus meets The Meters.” Ribak
brings his superb working quartet, performing
music from their most recent album
Onward.
