Don't miss this opportunity to hear some of the best jazz talent around—get your tickets now! Jazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur has earned a sterling reputation as a musician and educator. He is renowned for his golden tone, improvisational brilliance, compositional lyricism, and ability to charm peers, students, and listeners alike. Eminent jazz critic Gary Giddins wrote in the Village Voice: "A limber and inventive guitarist, Ben-Hur keeps the flame alive and pure, burning in every note… He's a guitarist who knows the changes and his own mind." Roni — born in Israel in 1962 but a longtime American citizen, based in the New York City area — has recorded dozen-plus albums as leader or co-leader, with The New York Times praising his "crisp, fluid style" and Time Out New York calling him "a formidable and consummately lyrical guitarist." He has developed a rare facility in both straight-ahead jazz and samba/bossa-nova styles, underscored by his work with masters in each field, from bebop piano sage Barry Harris and winds ace Frank Wess to beloved Brazilian vocalist Leny Andrade and composer Marcos Valle.
