A bop-oriented guitarist,
Roni Ben-Hur emigrated from Israel in 1985. Since that time he has hooked up with pianist
Barry Harris (whose trio appears on his 1994 TCB CD Backyard), often utilized pianist
Chris Anderson in his quartet, and married singer
Amy London, with whom he recorded Two for the Road for the Fivecat label. In addition,
Ben-Hur worked with
Bill Doggett,
George Kelly,
Gene Bertoncini and
Ralph Lalama.
Ben-Hur, who has a swinging and appealing guitar style, has also had an active career as a jazz educator. ~ Scott Yanow
