Roni Ben-Hur & Santi DeBriano - Our Thing EPK

Published on Jun 13, 2012
Israeli born guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, Panamanian born bassist Santi Debriano and Brazilian born drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, simultaneously converged on the New York City jazz scene in the 1980's and have been influencing the sound of the metropolis of jazz ever since. Together on disc for the first time, this unusual guitar jazz trio fabulously expresses the passionate emotionality, the worldly diversity, and the ultra-high musical virtuosity that defines the contemporary jazz of New York City today.
"Our Thing" will be released on Motema Music on August 14th 2012.

Jazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur has earned a sterling reputation as a musician and educator, 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 modernist flame alive and pure, with a low flame burning in every note… [He’s] a guitarist who knows the changes and his own mind.”

Ben-Hur – born in Israel in 1962 but a longtime American citizen, now based in New Jersey – has released nine albums as leader or co-leader, with Time Out New York calling him “a formidable and consummately lyrical guitarist.” The Star-Ledger of New Jersey summed him up this way: “A deep musician, a storyteller, Ben-Hur works with a warm, glowing sound and has an alluring way of combining engaging notes with supple rhythm.” Along with releasing acclaimed educational products – including the instructional DVD Chordability and method book Talk Jazz: Guitar – Ben-Hur has directed international jazz camps for nearly 15 years. Jazz guitar star Russell Malone got it right when he said: “Everything Roni does is beautiful. He has the magic touch.”
