About John Lurie
The ultimate avant-garde gadabout, John Lurie has been dancing about the edges of art since the saxophonist, composer, actor, and painter first emerged from New York's No Wave scene in the late-1970s. His greatest acclaim came by way of his creation of the Lounge Lizards, a loose amalgam of virtuosic musicians and true minds (including Arto Lindsay and Marc Ribot) who, starting in 1978, constructed an eclectic stew of raw African roots played with a latter-day jazz sophistication. Lurie's sparse, otherworldly compositions have also given apt background to the ethereal films of Jim Jarmusch and Wim Wenders, not to mention his own unique travel show Fishing with John and his follow-up, Painting with John.
