Love Letters, the new recording from guitarist/composer/educator Roni Ben-Hur is yet another testament to support the fact that the guitarist is widely respected by his peers, and the press, as one of the jazz-elite. Guitarist Russell Malone comments that, "Everything Roni does is beautiful. He has the magic touch.” The late, esteemed journalist Nat Hentoff of The Wall Street Journal praised Ben-Hur’s duet release, Smile, with Gene Bertoncini, as “a lyrically meditative dialogue.” With Love Letters, the latest masterpiece in his forty-plus year career of performing, composing, recording and teaching jazz, Ben-Hur gives us a musical mosaic that invites us to reconnect with what matters most in life. For Ben-Hur, what matters most are the intimate moments he and his band members create and share with each other and with audiences around the world.
