Rick Iannacone could be called Philadelphia’s answer to Marc Ribot — a guitarist with an avant-jazz skill set and a rocker’s heart, mischievously fusing high-art harmony and unbridled skronk. A true Philly original, Iannacone left a void with his recent move to Oregon, but he gets the most he can out of his occasional return visits. Monday’s show is one of three: on the 16th he plays the Avant Ascension series (also at Tritone); on the 20th he joins Elliott Levin’s New Olduvai Music (with Jamaaladeen Tacuma) at J.C. Dobbs; and finally, on the 21st he reunites with punk-jazz-beat poetry band New Ghost and leads his four-horn unit Character We. — David R. Adler
