Year by year, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur has been building an increasingly stellar reputation for himself since he first migrated from his native Israel to New York City, back in 1985. A passionate leader, player, composer-arranger, published author and respected educator, Roni now stands as one of the elite players in modern jazz. His new album "Keepin’ It Open" was #6 in the radio charts and he recently sold out two shows at Dizzy’s and Coca Cola.  He was one of the stars of the 2007 Stanford Jazz Workshop. He is joined by Ronnie Mathews, piano; Ray Drummond, bass; and Akira Tana, drums.

You could easily list the very solid Roni Ben-Hur among jazz’s elite guitarists." - Nick Bewsey, Primetime. 

"Roni Ben-Hur plays bebop and its related genres, as well as sambas and bossas, with consummate élan, always delivering deeply musical performances to greet the ears." - Zan Stewart,The Newark Star Ledger.  "

A superior straight-ahead guitarist who can swing as hard as anyone . ."- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
