Jimmy Rip: Jazz Musician in New York

About Jimmy Rip

Jimmy Rip is a rock and pop guitarist whose work moves between song-based structure and open-ended collaboration. In New York City he has appeared at Pioneer Works, including the performance series “Nels Cline’s 70 is the New 70” alongside Nels Cline and Lee Ranaldo, and with EUCADEMIX. His playing tends to foreground tone and rhythm rather than virtuoso display, letting arrangements breathe while still driving the band forward. He is most often heard in settings where the line between concert and ensemble session stays thin.
