AFTER HOURS With Guitarist/Composer Roni Ben-Hur
(New York, NY) November 7, 2005 - Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola -- located in The House of Swing, Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall - presents the legendary vibraphonist/composer Bobby Hutcherson, featuring alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett and pianist Renee Rosnes as special guests. Hutcherson's musical legacy dates back to the early 1960s, and continues to grow and extend the innovations first developed by the likes of Milt Jackson and Lionel Hampton. Holding down the After Hours spot will be the critically-acclaimed guitarist/composer Roni Ben-Hur, performing material from his most recent recording Signature.
Please Note: November 7 & 8 at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola are Sold Out
November 8-13
7:30pm & 9:30pm w/additional 11:30pm set on Fri-Sat
Bobby Hutcherson Quintet - featuring Kenny Garrett (Nov 9 & 10), and Renee Rosnes
Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Renee Rosnes (piano), Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone, 11/9 & 10), Dwayne Burno (bass), Willie Jones III (drums)
Credited, along with Gary Burton, with ushering what was essentially a novelty instrument into the modern era, Bobby Hutcherson in turn influenced the few musicians who chose to follow in his footsteps, including the current keeper of the flame, Stefon Harris. A native of L.A., Hutcherson performed locally with Curtis Amy and Charles Lloyd as well as with a quintet co-led by Al Grey and Billy Mitchell which brought him to N.Y. in 1961 when he was 20 years old. He began performing with a visionary group of artists including Jackie McLean, Grachan Moncur III, Charles Tolliver, Archie Shepp, Eric Dolphy, Hank Mobley and Herbie Hancock. As a result of these associations, in 1963 Hutcherson began appearing as a sideman on several Blue Note albums that would become classics including McLean's One Step Beyond, Moncur's Evolution, Hill's Judgment and Dolphy's Out To Lunch. It would be easy -- based on his work on these recordings and on Dialogue, his 1965 Blue Note debut as a leader featuring Sam Rivers and Freddie Hubbard -- to pigeon hole Hutcherson as a member of the avant-garde. Yet he was equally at home playing the blues, as he does with authority on Grant Green's Idle Moments and his own album The Kicker, a soulful, swinging session from 1963 which was actually the vibraphonist's first as a leader, even though it was not released until the fall of 1999. Hutcherson appeared on several other Blue Note titles as a leader and sideman during the course of an association with the label that lasted until 1977. Stick-Up from 1966, which, like The Kicker, features tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, is also notable for the dynamic playing of the irrepressible
drummer Billy Higgins. It is also Hutcherson's first recording with pianist McCoy Tyner with whom he would make the duo album Manhattan Moods in 1993
November 9-12
11pm Tuesday-Thursday, 12:30am Friday-Saturday
After Hours: with The Roni Ben-Hur Trio
Roni Ben-Hur (guitar), Santi DeBriano (bass, 11/10 & 11/11), Earl May, bass (11/9 & 11/12), Yoron Israel (drums, 11/10 & 11/11), Fukushi Tainaka, drums (11/9 & 11/12)
“ . . .a talented guitarist and composer . . ." - Nate Chinen, The New York Times. “His belief in jazz as a beacon of enlightenment comes beaming through in varicolored moods ranging from his sparkling showpiece, 'Mama Bee,' to his deeply felt prayer for peace for his homeland in a composition called, 'Eretz' (Hebrew for 'land')." - Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant. Critically acclaimed guitarist and composer Roni Ben-Hur will be appearing in support and celebration of his fourth CD as a leader, Signature, released in June 2005 on Reservoir Music. This recording is the fourth recording from the guitarist, composer, arranger, educator and author. Winner of the JAZZIZ 2000 Reader's Poll for “Best New Talent" and a favorite of jazz critics since his emergence on the scene in the 1990s, Ben-Hur reveals on Signature his evolution and accomplishments as a composer, arranger and leader of strength and substance, whose synthesis of styles and cultural influences defy category. Throughout the recording, Ben-Hur, with John Hicks on piano, Rufus Reid on bass, Leroy Williams on drums and Steve Kroon on percussion, delivers melodically and rhythmically rich versions of originals, and compositions by Jobim, Porter, Hicks, Arlen and Heitor Villa-Lobos. With the release of Signature Roni Ben-Hur offers the world a piece of himself, a glimpse into his life, his mind and his heart, and therefore his most meaningful musical statement to date.
