This reclusive performer’s singular creative voice and introspective, stream-of-consciousness lyrics have held music aficionados in thrall since 1978, when he began quietly releasing his music. His idiosyncratic mix of folk and blues music draws a small but devoted fan base that has included Sonic Youth and Kurt Cobain. Jandek, who prefers to work with local improvising musicians rather than a regular band, will be joined by Boston musicians Jorrit Dijkstra (alto saxophone, lyricon), Greg Kelley (trumpet), and Eli Keszler (percussion). Co-presented by the Critique of Pure Reason (www.thecritique.org).
