Tilbage i 80erne var den amerikanske guitarist Marc Ribot en del af bølgen af yngre jazzmusikere, der skilte musikken ad og satte den skævt sammen. Hans ofte brutale og atonale spil skilte vandene, men alle var enige om, at han var en musiker med noget på hjerte og en evne til at trænge igennem alle fordomme. I dag er Marc Ribot et ikon! Ikke kun blandt guitarister, men den samlede jazzverden hylder ham som en innovator og en kompromisløs kunstner. Ikke fordi han har ændret spillestil; jazzhistorien er blot kommet op på siden af ham og kører nu et smukt parallelt løb. Marc Ribot er fast med, når et andet ikon, sangeren og komponisten Tom Waits, går i studiet og spiller sine ganske få koncerter.
